Anyone with financial or personal interest in a wood floor may wish to hire an inspector as an independent third party to offer an unbiased explanation of a wood floors performance. An NWFA wood floor inspector will collect physical evidence, and interview the parties involved. The information gathered will then be referenced to applicable wood floor standards/guidelines and a logical conclusion made based on facts. An NWFA Inspection report will include the following:

• Claim history
• Statement of concern
• Description of flooring/problem
• Testing and evidence
• Applicable guidelines/standards
• Conclusion
• Identification of cause

An NWFA wood floor inspection report can be used as a legal document to help the parties involved come to an agreement regarding financial responsibility.
