How to Tell If You Have Rotten Floors?

Detecting rotten wood floors early can help prevent costly repairs. If you notice any of these signs, you should immediately contact us. We’ll assess the extent of the damage and take measures before it spreads further.

• Soft Floors: If certain areas of the floor feel soft when you step on them, the wood may be decaying underneath.
• Discoloration: Water stains, darkened areas, or unusual color changes in the wood could indicate rot.
• Musty Odor: A persistent, musty smell coming from the floor suggests potential wood decay.
• Deformed Floors: If sections of the floor appear warped or cracked, it may be caused by trapped moisture.
• Mold Growth: If you notice mold or mildew growth on or near the floor, it’s a sign of potential rot.

Which Areas Are Most Vulnerable?

Certain areas of your home are more prone to wood floor rot. This is due to higher humidity levels and potential water exposure. Regular inspections and maintaining proper ventilation can help prevent rot from developing in these areas:

• Bathrooms: Constant exposure to steam, humidity, and occasional spills makes bathroom floors highly susceptible to rot.
• Kitchens: Leaky sinks and appliances can cause hidden water damage beneath the wood floors.
• Basements: Poor ventilation and high humidity in basements can lead to wood floor rot.
• Laundry rooms: Washing machine leaks or drainage issues can leave behind water, leading to floor decay.
• Near windows/doors: Water can seep in through gaps around windows and exterior doors, damaging the flooring near entryways.
