Q: Why do my floors get dirty so quickly?

• <div><p>Your floor sees a lot of action: foot traffic bringing in dirt from outside, pets with muddy paws, kids dropping food crumbs, and more. All of this makes your floors dirty, and if you don&rsquo;t keep up with cleaning them, staying on top of the dirt will become more challenging.</p></div>

Q: Why does padding stick to the floors?

• <div><p>There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:</p><ul><li><p>There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.</p></li><li><p>The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.</p></li><li><p>Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.</p></li></ul><p>If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-smell-pet-urine-out-carpet.htm">removing pet urine odors</a> to prevent future problems.</p></div>

Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

Q: Are sagging floors dangerous?

• <div><p>You typically aren&rsquo;t in any immediate danger if your floors are sagging, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you should leave them unattended. Sagging is likely a sign of underlying problems with the structure of your home, such as uneven subflooring or rotting joists. Have your floors inspected by a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/carpentry/">local carpenter</a> as soon as possible to help you determine the type of repairs needed.</p></div>

Q: Does the subfloor go under the toilet flange?

• <div><p>The toilet flange anchors to the subfloor, usually with wood screws or cement screws, but most of it should sit above floor level at full height. When a flange is flush with the subfloor or below it, it can lead to the creation of leak paths.</p></div>

"RD Floors was a referral from a friend when another company wasn’t returning calls after asking me to contact them early January. This left me with a shorter window to get my project done. A blessing in disguise. Ryan happened to have an opening the next Monday. The color I wanted wasn’t going to be available by then so Ryan went OUT OF HIS WAY to make a blend close to the color I wanted. It was perfect. Then, with the late start, worked into the night to get my floor done. This is a business that truly cared about the customer and is passionate about his work. The garage floor is beautiful and it is a quality job. Ryan and crew were great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. Worth every penny!! Thank you so much Ryan and company!!!!"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Your floor sees a lot of action: foot traffic bringing in dirt from outside, pets with muddy paws, kids dropping food crumbs, and more. All of this makes your floors dirty, and if you don’t keep up with cleaning them, staying on top of the dirt will become more challenging.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.
The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.
Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.

You typically aren’t in any immediate danger if your floors are sagging, but that doesn’t mean you should leave them unattended. Sagging is likely a sign of underlying problems with the structure of your home, such as uneven subflooring or rotting joists.
