Apologies for title,have had to log on after finding a nightmare under carpet...don't know if I'm over dramatising...
About 18 months ago there was a bad leak from our bath which ended up raining in flat below. Maintenance team advised we air carpet in bathroom,I was away but flatmate seemed to have all under control.this evening, after sofa moved for decorating in lounge I noticed "soft" patch of floor by wall - bath on other side.presume that leak is root of prob..
Took carpet back. Underlay is ruined,crumbly, and chipboard floor appears similarly dry oat like in a fairly small (foot square max.) Area. Some of surrounding Chipboard has black dusty bloom with white more paint like marks on it...
What do I do? Utter novice and wimp girl who doesn't want to call her dad!? That's me... how much will repairs cost? Guess I should check under bath and bathroom carpet too?
apologies for errors,late night iPhone usage of this site.
All advice gratefully received!
