Kitchen Flooring Inspection

The flooring material can be ceramic or vinyl tile, wood, or  vinyl sheet goods. Check for nicks, tears, warping, missing grout, 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. Wood floors have become very popular in kitchens, however, they are more difficult to maintain and can be slippery when wet. Floor maintenance for wood is regular cleaning and periodic refinishing.
