Repair dry rot in the floor around toilet.
Because of leaky toilet seals, pest inspectors often find dry rot in the subflooring beneath the toilet area. Cost to repair this type of damage will vary greatly depending on the extent of the damage and the type of flooring.
In this case, the damage was limited to the corner of the floor between the water closet and the tub. The picture above shows the work in process with damaged subfloor removed. Once the floor joists were inspected and found to be in sound condition new subflooring was installed.
The original vinyl flooring was then glued back down and the toilet re-installed.
Low estimate for materials and labor:- Subflooring
- Misc. nails, screws, caulking, glue
- Wax ring for toilet
- Labor 4 hours
High estimate for materials and labor not including cost of flooring:
- Subflooring
- Misc. nails, screws, caulking, glue
- Wax ring for toilet
- Labor 6 hours
If you are a contractor or a handyman, how much would pest repairs be in your area?
