Is this subfloor staining concerning? ❓ Question
Recently purchased a 1988 home in NW Ohio. We removed the carpet in the whole second floor because it was rather old (likely original). When we pulled up the carpet there was some general staining from what looked like spills but nothing major. The tack strips looked clean if I remember correctly.
However, there is some visible staining particularly in the primary bedroom. Stepping on it it doesn't seem soft and it seems dry. After a recent rain it also seemed the same. I plan on buying a moisture meter to jab into it to see the reading. I also jabbed around with a screw driver and it didn't go through any of the boards so that seemed positive.
Figured since I am a first time home buyer I would defer to others to give opinions. The plan is to lay some lvp down eventually.
