Hi guys,
Looking for a bit of help.....
recently had a water leak which has wrecked the laminate flooring that was in my hallway. Taken it up and it’s drying out. I remember laying this and the floor wasn’t very level then. Only now the water is lifting the chipboard flooring at the edges. Obviously as it’s lifted it’s now springy
Anyway when my builder did my extension, he pointed out I had a “floating floor”. Basically concrete or something with a layer of insulation and then chipboard just basically laid across the top and not fastened down i.e, a floating floor.
no idea if what he told me is true but there certainly isn’t any screws or nails anywhere holding it down, obviously being a new build it goes under all the internal walls as well
what are my options to rectify? Picture attached.
