OSB Floor Sheathing
OSB Floor Sheathing
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with the use of osb floor sheathing, which was wet during construction due to a storm. The osb will be topped with gypcrete. Is there any literature out there to determine if the wet osb is still acceptable?
Thanks
Thanks

This is the link to the Plywood Association, who should be quite familiar with your problem.

Watch for mold too....

OSB may have its' uses, but I don't like it any where near moisture, which is almost everywhere IMHO.

I've done failure investigations on OSB and have found that moisture getting into the edges causes the most damage. Edge swelling can be as much as 15 to 20% with only a few exposures to rain/wetting.

I have seen it exposed to weather and rain over months of time and stands up as good as original.
