subfloor termites
subfloor termites
(OP)
we are looking at a house built in 1901, the foundation is rock and the subfloor is deteriorating. the joists and girders have been patched in the past and have severe termite damage, the outside of the house looks good with the walls in good shape. the floors in the house are sloping to the center of the house. what if anything could be done and what kind of costs if would we be looking at to replace the subfloor and possibly correct the foundation






RE: subfloor termites
Aside from telling us that the foundation is rock, what is wrong with it?
If you'd like to have some idea of what it would cost for those ideas mentioned above and have some mechanical aptitude I suggest going to the local library and looking up the Means Construction Cost Data for Residential work. Here you will get a unit cost based on square foot. Moreover there are many indexes to factor that unit cost with such as location etc.

Over a long period of time these burrows may collapse, and any structure or foundation above the burrows may also start to settle.
