Selfridge Inspection ServiceCertified flooring inspections you can trust
When a floor fails, understanding the cause is a critical step for anyone considering replacement – many different factors can affect a floor’s performance. In some cases, there are site issues that need remediation (such as moisture or subfloor issues), without which any replacement job is likely to fail in a similar manner. Other times, usage patterns (pets, wheelchairs, etc.) might indicate that a different type of product is a better fit for your space.

Additionally, when filing a claim under a builder or manufacturer’s warranty, a professionally prepared report that describes the issues and identifies the underlying causes can be a useful negotiation tool. And some people just want the peace of mind that comes with understanding what is happening beneath their feet.

What types of flooring problems can be inspected?
Selfridge Inspection Service inspects virtually all floor covering types, including:

  • Hardwood (pre-finished Solid sand Engineered) – gapping, cupping, crowning, and finish issues
  • Laminate and resilient floors (LVP/LVT, VCT, sheet vinyl) – gaps, creases, telegraphing, peaking, and adhesive failures
  • Broadloom Carpet and Carpet Tile – wrinkling, seam failure, soiling, delamination, lifted corners, and adhesive failure

Why hire a certified inspector instead of relying on the installer or retailer?
Installers, retailers, or manufacturers may have a financial interest in the outcome.

A certified inspector is a neutral expert with no stake in the product or installation.

Hiring Selfridge Inspection Service ensures your inspection is conducted according to recognized standards, using objective test data, not opinions, so you can make informed decisions or present credible evidence in a dispute.

What areas does Selfridge Inspection Service serve?
Certified floor inspection services are available throughout Iowa, SE Wisconsin, and NW Illinois.

In some cases, inspections in other surrounding areas can be arranged upon request.
