I'd throw a little test stain over them before I tore them out. Depending on the color, they may disappear.

But before I did that, I'd make the door guy reinstall the doors that leaked with proper flashing. That was inexcusable.

I would not depend on the stains not showing replace the boards and i agree about the leaking doors

If these are brand new floors that are coming with a warranty, use it right now and have those boards replaced. They may be fine right now, but who knows what could happen in the future.

apaquin25, water damage on site would not be replaced by warranty. Maybe you mean insurance?

I wouldn't do anything until I made sure those doors were watertight...using a hose to simulate driving rain.

I would deal with it today. In your 5% waste that was ordered, there should be enough left over to be able to put in several planks. The one's with the water damage can be put into the "culled" pile and can be used to fill spots in closets, etc.

Ultimate points out that sometimes water popping can deal with this issue. You can have someone do that on one of the damaged planks and then show you the results. But I would be prepared to deal with this today...don't wait for the finish to make that decision....it will cost MUCH more tomorrow than it does today.

Thanks all! @Cancork Floor Inc. What exactly is "water popping"? We went ahead and replaced with spare wood except they took the cheap easy route and nailed down which is frustrating. Hoping with sanding and stain it'll all look the same...the nail holes are tiny but nonetheless. Thanks
