We don't have a storm door on our back door. As a result water has penetrated under the door and entered the house. Unknown to us, the water has gotten under the vinyl floor. Our house is only 9 years old and we estimate this water damage has been happening for most of those 9 years. It has caused not only the underlayment to rot but caused the 5/8" subfloor (guaranteed for 50 years) to rot too!
The home builder is coming to cut away a large portion of the kitchen floor. He will cut it all the way to the rafters below! Then he will surgically replace the subfloor and brace the subfloor from underneath.
Then a flooring company will come to replace underlayment and replace the vinyl flooring using a nearly invisible seam material.
That is why my kitchen is wrapped in plastic - to try to avoid getting all the saw dust on our food and dishes.
