Wood Rot in Sub-Floor
Hi-
We are replacing our ceramic tile floor and sub floor and have discovered that there is some minor wood rot on the tops of some of the beams (about 1/2 inch deep). Is it possible to repair this damage and would that pass an inspection in the future? If so, what are the best ways to repair this type of rot? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Just sister some new ones in. Do you know what I mean when I say sister? Good advice above! I once removed a mudset on mortar bed ceramic and had the top 1.5" missing due to the mud layer. I single sistered each joist with one approved for the span (the old ones were oversized to allow for the top trimming). Passed more than one home inspection with flying colors. |

Do you know what I mean when I say sister? -- "You can lead them to LINUX but you can't make them THINK" Running Mandriva release 2008.0 free-i586 using KDE on i586 I think that you mean just add another 2x4 on the side of the rooted boards, right? Do we need to treat the rot? |

If you do not understand loads and beams, sister them with the same size as the existing member. If the joists are 2x8 use a 2x8. You may waste a little wood but you can't go wrong doing it this way. -- Colbyt Please come visit www.househomerepair.com |
