Replacing plywood subfloors, is it really bad for floor joist?(Poll)
Hi Guys,
Do you think it’s bad for floor joist if I will need to replace some plywood subfloors? I need to get under the floors on my second floor in order to get access and install light in living room, fan in first floor bathroom, pass some internet wires. I also need to replace one bad plywood subfloor with a hump. I am currently about to start installing hardwood and have all my carpets removed. My Father says it’s a bad idea to open plywood subfloors because it will loosen and damage floor joist which will make them squeaky afterwards. What do you guys think?
Let me know what you think.
All the Best,
Dasm
