The Last Thing I Heard Was, “The Floor Had Been Fixed Before”.

The Last Thing I Heard Was,

“The Floor Had Been Fixed Before”.

 

 

 

These are not the most comforting words to hear when there is a need for me to fix a problem. The flooring was soft in the bathroom and needed attention. I was told that it had been repaired before, not too long ago. I thought to myself, if it were fixed why is it bad again?

So the source of the problem was never corrected, the damaged material was replaced. Of course that is a whole new subject matter that is not done right either. The framing that was added to the floor was random, loose, and in no way professionally done. It was not covered with plywood but a water absorbing sheet of particle board. It swelled like a sponge.

All of this needs to be done right AND the water leak that was never addressed, corrected!

I've never understood why anyone would use particle board in a bathroom or kitchen. No matter how careful people are, there's bound to be SOME water on those floors at some time.

I hate it when the Mr. of a home THINKS he is a handy man. In reality he can't do anything the way required by code, or pull a permit and just makes an all around freaking mess of things that did not to be fixed to begin with.

Before he retired my husband did a lot of remodeling, along with building custom homes. I've lost count of the number of homes that had particleboard in the kitchen and bath. I suppose it's cheaper than real plywood.

That is really ugly and a mess. I am glad you got it fixed right so this will not happen again. So many contractors take shortcuts and it comes to light sooner than later.

Particle board on a bathroom sub-floor? Nice! They should install with quick disconnects so you ca neasily change it out when it gets wet and falls apart!

Nothing wrong with p-board but it needs to be installed over the subfloor (plywood). This bathroom onkly had the p-board Marte Cliff , no plywood.
