Subfloor Repair FAQ

How do I know if the subfloor is the problem?

Soft spots, bouncing, squeaks, or tile that keeps cracking usually point to the subfloor. A pro can confirm by inspecting from above or from the basement.

Is a soft spot near the toilet serious?

It usually means a slow leak has damaged the subfloor. It's worth fixing soon, since the damage spreads and can affect the framing.

What if the joists are damaged?

Structural framing repairs may require a licensed general contractor. The pro you're matched with will tell you if that's the case.
