subfloor
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I was trying to get some helpful tips on subfloors. I live in a mobile home and just recently discovered that the sbfloor underneath my waterheatr (which is in the closet) is quite rotten and nasty, from a water heater leak. Is it possible to just cut out the rotten flooring and replace it. I have done this in my parents house, but I have never had to take the board from under a wall, which I will have to do in the closet. Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Oh by the way cheap is better. -- bugz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bugz's Profile: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=83 View this thread: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/s...ad.php?t=76262 This post was submitted via http://www.HomeRepairForums.org |

I will have to do in the closet. I would just do usual leave 0.5" - 1" on the inside, add new 2x4 support, glue & screw new subfloor and add 1/4 plywood to cover entire room. In many mobile homes subfloor glued, screwed and nailed to the point where you have to remove walls. |

Thanks for the info. Why should I add the 1/4 plywood to the floor. May seem like a dumb question, but if you don't know you better ask. -- bugz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bugz's Profile: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/member.php?userid=83 View this thread: http://homerepairforums.org/forums/s...ad.php?t=76262 This post was submitted via http://www.HomeRepairForums.org |
