Just finished remodeling a house and when I want to look at a floor near a sliding glass doors I see what looks to be a fairly bad case of cupping. It rained very heavy here in So Ca about 3-4 weeks ago and I suspect that the channel of the door had debri in it and the water did not drain out and drained onto the hardwood floor. The floor did not look wet though and there are carpets and such near it that would have obviously been wet??? Will condition like this reverse itself when the wood completely dries out or is the wood ruined. Is there anything that I can do? I would hate to have to have it sanded down now after just finishing the whole floor. BTW, the sliding glass doors have little plastic weep plugs on the outside. I was told these were to stay on but wonder now if that was correct info. Please advise.
