CARPTETED BATHROOM FLOOR

CARPETED BATHROOM FLOOR: This configuration can be very damaging to a subfloor if it is constructed of wood and is not covered and sealed with original vinyl flooring. Water spilling from the tub or shower wets the carpet which wets the subfloor thereby causing wood rot. Any floor covering materials laid over wood subfloors effectively prevents the inspector from determining the condition of the subfloor. Wood rot can go undetected if not visible to the inspector. Contact the inspection company for further information if you desire. It is recommended that the carpet be removed if the floor is constructed of wood and if subfloor deterioration is noted.
