What Is a Subfloor? Foundation of Lasting Floors

A subfloor is the structural base beneath your finished flooring, supporting everything from tile and hardwood to laminate or carpet. Damaged subflooring leads to uneven floors, moisture problems, and expensive repairs. The Mosaic Company specializes in evaluating and repairing subfloors to ensure flooring durability, comfort, and safety for local homeowners.

Top Causes of Subfloor Damage

Water intrusion—leaks, floods, or plumbing mishaps—is the leading cause of subfloor deterioration. Other risks include age, wood rot, mold, and pest infestations. If your floor has started creaking, dipping, or feels soft, The Mosaic Company recommends a professional inspection before replacing any surface flooring.

How to Identify Subfloor Problems

Look for warning signs that require expert attention:

  • Creaking or sagging floors
  • Musty odors, water stains, or visible mold
  • Uneven surfaces, soft spots, or cracks

It’s best to get your subfloor checked when planning renovations or after water-related incidents. The Mosaic Company provides a thorough assessment to spot hidden damage.
