Q: Three years ago I had the old asbestos linoleum in my kitchen replaced with a new asbestos-free vinyl. A few months later part of it turned pink – it turned out to be from moisture coming up from a crack in the concrete slab. I found a local flooring company that removed the vinyl, applied a moisture barrier and installed the same flooring again. Now some small bumps have developed in the vinyl. Can you tell me who to turn to for some help?

A: You should begin by contacting the flooring company that installed the floor because they should warranty their work for a year. If it is just small bumps, the flooring company can generally remedy the situation, upon inspection. There might also be a warranty from the flooring manufacturer, if that is applicable.
