A sub-floor is the structure and crawl space between the lowest floor and the ground. High moisture levels in these areas promote fungal decay and other timber pests such as termites.

All sub-floors and crawl spaces should be considered as having potential moisture and water problems. The most common causes for these problems are found on the outside of the house, usually from roof issues or site surface drainage issues.

Some houses look near perfect internally, but an inspection of this subfloor supported the reason and proved the benefit of engaging Inspect Direct to conduct a thorough building inspection.

Damp sub floor areas creating potential for subsequent water damage to associated building elements. Buildings built below the natural ground line, such as flat blocks, sloping blocks, or any type of site where site drainage is inadequate may be susceptible to water ingress into the subfloor area.

It is important that water does not lie against the base of walls of the building or within the subfloor.

Surrounding paths and external ground levels should be sloped to drain water away from walls. Downpipes should only discharge into the allocated stormwater drainage system. At Inspect Direct we can recommend the best methods to prevent a damp sub floor & to most importantly prevent damp / water damage to the building or any of its parts.
