Some of the common problems with sub flooring can include the floor sinking, creaking, popping & & uneven flooring as the overall result. A sinking floor means that the floor is not as strong as it used to be & may feel soft or spongy. When it creaks, it means something like the joists, nails & other internal parts are subliminally rubbing as they should not. In terms of popping, this can be due to loose planks, sub floor – nail rubbing, & the sound can drive you mad.
 
Water or moisture can also cause the floor to sag. Creaking or pooping is common in older homes. This means that the subflooring is not secured to the underlying joists. At this point you should either replace it with thicker panels or install wider joists. An uneven floor may be the effect of the foundation or support walls settling. Don't let this happen to you. In Santa Monica, we can be the expert provider to help you!
 
Another reason for uneven floors is water damage. All of these may lead to the subflooring needing repair or replacement. & that's no small matter : If your foundation has suffered from very poor drainage, or even if there are issues in your plumbing, it all needs to be looked at. Sometimes, even the foundation itself could be entirely damaged, needing an immediate replacement from the ground up, so to speak.

    Can you repair subfloor from underneath?
     
    How to know when to replace your subfloor
    Factors such as an exposure to moisture or a leaking pipe can be enough alarms for you to replace your subfloor. As the floor gets slippery, you better check what’s up with your subfloor.
    What’s a subfloor?
    A subfloor is a material that sits underneath your original floor, which can be tiles, hardwood, or a carpet.
    Purpose of a subfloor
    The main purpose of the subfloor is to ensure that it keeps moisture away, and this is the main reason many houses require it. However, if you have a way to ensure that there are zero leaks and proper moisture maintenance, there’s no need to get one.
    Indicators of damaged subfloors
    Several red flags will point out a damaged subfloor which includes
    1. Having uneven floor or ones that are sunken.
    2. Hearing loud squeaks on the floorboards.
    3. You’re having the smell of mold or mildew in the room.
    4. Bouncing or shifting floors when walking around.
    5. Have a loose and rocking toilet.
    6. Visibly cracked floor tiles.
    7. Get capping hardwood floor.
    8. See blubbing up linoleum floor.
    9. Experience a leaking ceiling.
    The lifespan of a subfloor
    Subfloors will last depending on how well you maintain them. If it’s in good shape, it can serve you for up to 20 – 30 years.
    Cost of replacing a subfloor
    It’ll depend on the contractor, the kind of labor, and materials to be used, but on average, it’s $450 – $2000.
     
    FAQ Source
     
     
    When should I replace my subfloor from water damage?
     
    The signs that indicate you need to replace your subfloor
    Several things should tell you that it’s about time that you replace your subfloor. Such indicators will help you assess the damage and determine what kind of repair should be done. These signs include
    1. Loud squeaks
    When your steps begin to produce louder squeaks than normal, you should find out if your subfloor has an issue.
    2. Sinking parts
    Sinking parts is an indication that you have a loose subfloor part somewhere that needs fixing.
    3. Cupping floorboard
    Cupping of the floorboard indicates that moister loosened the grip of the floor, and upon drying, it adapted to the taco-like shape.
    4. Cracked tiles
    Popping or cracked tiles are a clear indication that your subfloor underneath is damaged and needs some fixing.
    5. Water damage
    Whether it’s a leaking sink or ceiling, you better check on your subfloor since that water must have been drained in there.
    Tips on repairing the subfloor
    When figuring out how you’ll deal with the repair of your subfloor, you have to follow a couple of steps to ensure that you don’t leave anything. The procedure involves
    1. Assess the damage on the subfloor to know what’s wrong.
    2. Determine the kind of damage you’re dealing with so that you can move forward to the repair.
    3. Block any leaks before fixing anything to avoid contact with water.
    4. Fix any water damages before proceeding to avoid any similar cases.
    5. Replace the damaged subfloor.
