        "text": "You should repair subfloors immediately if you notice soft spots, sloping, spongy walking surfaces, or persistent musty odors. Waiting can cause damage to spread from isolated particle board panels into major floor joists or adjacent walls. A key decision factor is the source of moisture: cosmetic flooring should never be laid over swollen boards until the water entry point is sealed. Addressing subfloor degradation early protects your structural stability and avoids more expensive framing tear-outs later.",
