Pull out floor vents and inspect the thickness of the layers to identify solid hardwood flooring. Utilize crawl spaces or unfinished basements to potentially spot hardwood flooring peeking through old holes. Check transitions between different flooring materials like tiles or linoleum for unexpected hardwood flooring. Listen for distinctive squeaks that hardwood floors produce compared to subfloors to confirm their presence. Consider the home's history to gauge the likelihood of finding salvageable hardwood flooring under the carpet.
