Show Notes

Did you hear that crunching sound? That isn't just a loose nail—it’s the sound of your subfloor failing. In this episode of TORQUE & TAPE, we’re going deep into how to repair subfloor damage and stop floor rot before it compromises your home’s structure.

Whether you’re dealing with water damage in a bathroom, a leaky dishwasher, or squeaky floors, ignoring a soft spot today can lead to a $5,000 replacement bill tomorrow. I’m walking you through the mentor-grade process of diagnosing rotten plywood, cutting to the joists, and installing a patch that is actually stronger than the original build.
