Sub Floor Extraction

Actually Kel we've gone over this... doug brought up this very question ages ago.....

you should do a search before you post...lol

I think we got it down to odor removal is impossible without removing the carpet... things such as cat pee can get right down into the wood..

an airmover won't cut it

Zero:  I have never been a believer of top down drying.  Lets us talk about the underpad it has a scrim on it to allow the carpet to slide over to assist in installation. Now that is my major concern weather using a claw or no. If you  cannot blow threw it you can not expect it to releace all the moisture. The plywood cannot possible dry because no air can get to it. Unless you happen to put all Claude Blackburn's inventory into the area at once it is cheaper and faster to remove pad and dry carpet and floor. If the previous contractor used a hydro sencor to check the floor what you found could have been the end result.  The sencor only reads down to I think 17 to 18% which is still a problem as far as wood is concerned. I think you should get wood below 15%. Now I could be off a bit I don't happen to have a manual beside me. I do depend on books and no memory.  As far as liaiabiltiy The problem may be prexisting, but it also may be ongoing.  Unlike all the other bum boys who rush out and buy all this junk for urine removal I seem to always be in some kind of discussion  about this. But than again I don't supply the chemicals and gadgets that fix everydays little problems.  If I can't do the job my way it don't get done by me. Zero you can take that to the bank. But I am not from the city and I believe Lee Senter said once things are done differently on the sticks?

Doug that is the most informative post that you have put here in a long time. Zero you prompted this and I am gaining more respect for you by the day.

Thanks Doug I guess your feeling generous before you go on vacation. Something to leave us  while were fighting the snow and your soaking up the sun.

Lee time to change that monkey face, your better looking than that.

Just to annoy us Steamer. That is his style. Remember, this is No-Dic we are talking about here.
