AC leaked, caused flooring damage. Security Deposit?

I have a really good tenant, the AC in her unit broke; water leaked and caused some minor warping of the hardwood near the register.

My question is, she reported it when she said she noticed the flooring was warped. Should I deduct it from her security deposit? I’m almost certain she’ll stay another year or two.

She hasn’t asked to get the floor fixed, and not sure if I should chalk it up as fair wear and tear.

Thoughts?
