Kitchen Flooring Inspection

The flooring material is normally tile or sheet goods. Check them for nicks, tears and openings at the seams. Carpet is not a recommended kitchen floor surface, particularly if there are children in the family. Carpeting tends to hold moisture and bacteria from food spills in the kitchen area. Wood floors are becoming more popular in kitchens; however, they are more difficult to maintain and can be very slippery when they get wet. Floor maintenance is typically regular cleaning and periodic refinishing.
