Signs It's Time for Subfloor Replacement: Expert Guidance from Sunshine Flooring
Subflooring is a crucial part of a home’s structural integrity and safety. It provides a stable base for flooring materials and ensures comfort and support underfoot. However, over time, subflooring can become damaged due to various factors, including moisture, wear and tear, or pest infestations. Knowing when to replace subflooring is essential for maintaining a safe and healthy living environment. In this blog, we’ll explore the signs that indicate it’s time to replace your subflooring and how Sunshine Flooring can help you through the process.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Subflooring
- Squeaking or Creaking Floors: If your floors make squeaking or creaking noises when you walk on them, it could be a sign of subflooring damage. Loose or damaged subflooring can cause these noises.
- Soft or Uneven Spots: Walking across soft or uneven areas on your floor can indicate subflooring problems. These areas may feel spongy or give way under pressure, suggesting structural issues.
- Visible Water Damage: Water damage can lead to subflooring deterioration. Look for signs of water damage such as warping, staining, or mold growth on your floors.
- Flooring Separation: If your flooring material is separating or lifting from the subflooring, it could be due to subflooring issues. This can occur when the subflooring is no longer providing proper support.
- Pest Infestations: Termites and other pests can cause significant damage to subflooring. If you notice signs of infestation such as holes, droppings, or chewed wood, it may be time to replace the subflooring.
- Persistent Bad Odors: Mold and mildew can grow in damp, damaged subflooring, causing unpleasant odors in your home. If you notice persistent bad smells, it’s worth checking the subflooring.
- Sagging or Bowing Floors: Floors that are sagging or bowing can indicate structural problems with the subflooring. This can pose a safety hazard and should be addressed promptly.
