Solution For Replacing Subfloor When Pet Urine Soaks Through
Cat ammonia is a potent smell and almost impossible to remove, when you have multiple pets and/or many accidents over time, your carpet needs to be removed and potentially the floorboards as well due to the urine soaking through. So, what are some of the potential damages that your pet’s urine can cause?
THE AMMONIA SMELL
The strong odor of ammonia is the most noticeable effect of your pet’s urine. Although urine doesn’t contain a huge amount of ammonia, it is highly concentrated in cat’s urine. Moreover, when your pet urinates on the carpet and not cleaned immediately and thoroughly, the water in the urine evaporates, leaving the concentrated ammonia. As a result, it can affect people with asthma, COPD, emphysema, and may cause allergies.
THE GROWTH OF MOLD
If your pet’s urine is not cleaned immediately, it may soak through your subfloor, which may later result in mold. Mold can be bothersome due to the foul smell and can cause damage to your subfloor. Moreover, prolonged exposure to mold can lead to health problems, especially to people with weak immune systems such as the aged and kids. It can also cause allergies, sinusitis, inflammation and watery eyes.
THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING A ROTTING SUBFLOOR
Once your subfloor repeatedly gets soaked up with your pet’s urine, the wood becomes more saturated and may even rot. As such, you may have to remove your entire carpeting to replace the affected sections of your subfloor. However, replacing subfloor is an expensive affair. The cost of replacing subfloor is approximately $34-$60 per square foot. So, a home of 2,600-square-foot can cost you between $85,800 and $159,600.
