(How to lift nailed) chipboard flooring

Hi All,

Needing help. I want to lift my chipboard flooring to install insulation. Problem is, the chipboard has been nailed with 4 inch nails. How do I lift this without bursting the chipboard. Thanks

You'd probably have to hire a nail puller or some such. If the chipboard has been correctly fitted i.e. glued to the joists and glued together, expect to scrap the chipboard and buy new.
