When To Get Subfloor Repair
There are many signs to a damaged subfloor that is in need of repair or replacement. Here are some of the most common signs:
- Sinking – If you notice that your flooring is starting to sink in certain areas you should take concern. This usually means that some moisture has gotten into the subflooring and the wood has started to deteriorate.
- Cracking – Cracking or popping of tiles is usually a sign that the tile has had too much pressure applied to it. However, if the cracking spans over more than one tile, it could be a sign that the subflooring has been damaged. If the subflooring is flex it can lead to bending which causes tiles to crack under the pressure.
- Buckling – When your hardwood floor starts to buckle, it is a sure sign that moisture has gotten into the wood, and potentially the subflooring below it. You’ll want to look into what is causing the moisture, and ensure that the subflooring isn’t in danger as well.
