No. Cupping alone does not settle the repair decision. North Carolina's historic-building guidance notes that some wood boards improve as they dry, while overly rapid drying can worsen distortion. Ask a restoration professional and flooring specialist to assess the water source, floor construction, subfloor and remaining damage before sanding or replacing it. That preservation guidance concerns older buildings; it is not a promise that contaminated, delaminated or severely damaged flooring can be saved.
