On lifting some floorboards showing damp spots, i came across this little surprise! Its a first floor bathroom. The major joist damage seems to be around where the toilet was sitting, i expect it had been leaking for years!
I guess its a little warning to what damage a leaky toilet can do.
Plan of action is to repair the joists with a side brace and replace the boards. How long would this take to dry out do you think? Should i treat the rot with anything? I really want to be able to reboard it and get on with fitting the bathroom.
