Humidity is the natural enemy of your hardwood flooring. It does not matter which kind of wood you use. Although you want to lessen the amount of humidity in your home to prevent moisture damage, you also can't risk making your house too dry. If that occurs, your lovely wood floors could start to peel and crack.

Fixing the Floor

may also ruin your flooring if you are not paying attention. You can choose a finish for your flooring that will help conceal any signs of damage caused by your pets.
