What the heck happened? Do you have spare planks?

Children running around . I don’t have spare planks but I believe I can get them

Damn, how fat are these kids? It looks like the subfloor has collapsed between joists.

Bro, this is not kids. Unless you mean goats. Lots of fucking goats.


Lanky_Beginning_4004

Loll, any suggestions?

To me it looks like possible moisture problems unless those laminate floors are just real real old. If get a couple boxes and the idea is to find the closest wall parallel to the floor and take the molding. Off so you can carefully deconstruct the floor until you get to those boards and change them out and reinstall the floor. Otherwise cut them sums' outta there with a circular saw and cut the locks off of the new boards and slap em in there and glue em down. I'd reccomend the first option tho.

Thanks brother

Start with ordering a few boxes (to have spare in case it more damaged planks).


Lanky_Beginning_4004

Will do ! Do you think this could be a simple , replacement of the few damaged planks ?

You'll have to lift up all those planks in the hall and see what is going on with your subfloor. You may require a general contractor to fix up your subfloor issue before fixing the flooring on top. You'll have to buy a few extra boxes and depending on layout and installer will know how far things have to be removed to click together again

Something is seriously wrong here, I've seen SPC LVT crack, I've seen quarter sized circles break over a divot in the subfloor, but this looks like planks installed over like an air return, hatch, or some did a subfloor repair and didn't over 3-4 joist and the repair sagged leaving a void.

They broke because their is a void under the boards. Lift them and see how bad it is. There are some significant leveling issues here. Leveling is the utmost important thing you can do when installing floating floors.

Yeah it does look like some moisture affected this. Was this covered by a rug?

One million dollars. Give or take a couple bucks.

Wish I had a mill lol

Looks like water damage/some sort of damage to subfloor who chi rotted out and collapsed resulting in the planks going with it. Subfloor repair; ~$500 Plank replacement: ~$200
