Default Hardwood floor buckling from HVAC duct underneath

The area was always a little crowned, but it seems more pronounced
this year. Perhaps maybe the enclosed space underneath is trapping
cold air when the heat is not on, maybe from the basement sill plates.
Just a guess.
I am going to try and keep the area in the sun by opening up the front
window blinds to see if it helps dry it out.





Hello,

Put a room dehumidifier under the area; if it runs and collects water,
you need a dehumidifier in your basement. Obviously youarenot boss,
your house its boss over you . . .

Another thingy: whatis wrong with having the vent hang an inch or two
past the ceiling rafters? If anyone says anything about it: just say
you wanted a touch of Danish Modern in your house to see if you like
it . . . or get a different size/type vent. If your furnace doesnot
get proper air, youwill blow out your internal thermostat. Then pile
all your furnature on the hump until the weight forces the area flat.
If anyone says anthing about it: tell them you want a touch of Early
Nordic in your house to see if you like it . . .
