    Subfloor

    My brother won’t do the replacing of the subfloors. The one contractor, who offered his services to replace them, didn’t send me his estimate, and never got back to me. The guy from Chem Dry has not called me back and I have called him and the company twice. It has been very frustrating to get...

    Subfloor

    Hi All! Update: Dehumidifiers have dried the subfloors. Smell seems to be gone. Kilz is still on the subfloors. Two men, I contacted about the subfloors earlier, have abandoned me. Brother feels, I should seal the floors, after stripping the Kilz off first, and using vinegar to treat the floors...

    Which actually, is most of the floors, unfortunately. Probably time to hire someone. I have no idea how long this had been going on, but she had carpet replaced twice and someone was trying to fix up the Condo, but gave up. Washing ceiling and walls in hallway. Spackling, sanding, priming...

    Subfloor

    Bud, Three story Condo, side by side. I moved in the end of April. Yes, I am living in it. The smell and stains are worse in the dinning/living room. I did have a fan running, only makes the smell worse and the floor is still wet. Moved the dehumidifier to the first floor, from the basement.

    Subfloor

    Well, I was hoping the floor wasn't as bad as the carpet and padding. Between the smoking and urine, elbow grease and patience. Got it "as is" for $56, appraised at $80. I knew I could do what needed to be done and do it right! Needed TLC. She was mentally incapacitated and all the appliances...

    Subfloor

    Hello! This is my first post. I am fixing up a Condo. The subfloors are full of dog urine. I can't fathom how anything, but removing the subfloor could possibly remove the smell and urine. The floors don't dry. They are saturated. This has been going on for possibly decades. I tried Kilz...
