Water Damage and Rot Repair

Water damage and rot repair behind and beneath bathrooms, replacing soft subfloors, damaged framing and wet drywall, and correcting the cause so the repaired room stays sound.

Soft floors, spongy walls and sagging ceilings are signs that water has been getting in for some time. Rot spreads slowly and can weaken the framing under a tub or toilet. Homeowners in Nashville who find damage during a remodel, or notice it first, need honest advice and sound repairs.

We open the damaged area, find how far it goes and cut out wet and rotted material back to solid wood. We treat and dry what can stay, replace subflooring, joists and studs where needed and correct the cause, such as a leak or poor drainage. We then rebuild with moisture-tolerant materials and proper waterproofing before the finish goes back on. We photograph each step so you can see exactly what was found and fixed. Hidden damage is easier to accept when you can see it. We take clear photos with a tape measure beside the damage and share them with you the same day. Those pictures explain the scope, support any insurance conversation and give you confidence that the repair is based on what is actually behind the wall.
