My water heater busted and now my floor is buckled up in dinning room. Had an insurance man come out and look at it and they are only going to try to replace the part that is damaged. Will they be able to match this up the floor is the org floors house was built in the 60's I think. The floor is not tough and grove. He said its your standard top nail hardwood floor what's that. I dont think the floors can be sanded we have sanded them once before don't know if anyone else has sanded them before. But he said they could replace what is damaged and buff out the rest to match it up!

Your floors are most likely a 5/16" top-nailed floor that was common in some parts of the country. Depending on many various factors, they MAY be able to patch wood back in and sand and finish them to blend back in. It's possible but not always easy as floors and finishes age over time and do change color. A good floorman should be able to look at them and tell if he'll be able to repair them to your satisfaction. Do not agree to "sign off" on your claim until the repairs have been completed to your satisfaction. Do not endorse a check from the insurance company IF it says that by doing so, you accept that payment as payment in full for your claim.

Thanks I am in the US. And the man that we had come out and give us a price on the floors said that he does not no where to purchase the type of floor it is and even if we could get it that it would be hard to match up the stain. If not impossible.
