Project Spotlight: Bathroom Subfloor Repair & Flooring Replacement

What started as a leaking toilet turned into a more involved bathroom repair after damage was discovered beneath the existing flooring.

For this project, Hansen Contracting & Repairs removed the vanity and damaged flooring, repaired the compromised subfloor, rebuilt the damaged lower portion of the vanity, and finished the space with new linoleum flooring and reinstalled baseboards.

Addressing the Damage Below the Surface

Water damage isn't always limited to what you can see.

After removing the existing flooring, we found damage to the subfloor that needed to be addressed before new flooring could be installed. The damaged material was removed and the affected section of subfloor was replaced to create a solid foundation for the finished floor.

The vanity also needed to be removed to properly access the damaged area.

Repairing Instead of Replacing

The lower portion of the existing vanity had also been affected by the water damage.

Rather than replacing the entire vanity, we rebuilt the damaged bottom portion so the existing vanity could be reinstalled and continue to be used.

It's a good example of how a targeted repair can sometimes preserve parts of a home that are still in good condition while addressing the areas that actually need attention.

Finishing the Bathroom

Once the subfloor and vanity repairs were complete, new linoleum flooring was installed throughout the bathroom.

The baseboards were then reattached and the vanity was put back into place, leaving the bathroom repaired, functional and refreshed.

Small Leak, Bigger Repair

A leaking toilet may seem like a minor issue, but moisture can cause damage to flooring, subflooring, cabinetry and other surrounding materials when it gets beneath the finished surfaces.

Addressing that damage properly means looking beyond the cosmetic issue and repairing what's underneath before putting everything back together.
