Hi,
We finally bought our PPOR- its a weatherboard Victorian, and needs additional subfloor ventilation but access is not possible.
We have been told that we need to lift the boards to fix the damp problem, and given that the boards would be ruined, replace our wooden stumps with concrete ones. We are thinking of doing this, and simply replacing the floorboards with particle board and carpet, as these rooms will become bedrooms in the long term.
Can anyone share their experience with lifting the floorboards? Are all the floorboards totally ruined- just wondering if it would be a false economy to ignore the stumps at the moment? And can anyone recommend anyone for this work?
Thank you.
