Best Way of Repairing Rotten Floor Joist in Upstairs Bathroom
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:55 pm
Hello,
We have discovered that due to a leaking shower tray, there is water damage to the floorboards and one of the floor joists beneath it. What would be the best way of rectifying this? The problem is the lack of space to work with, the joist in question is right next to the wall on one side and next to the soil pipe on the other. Could we use some sort of clamp arrangement in conjunction with a new section of joist that could be tightened from downstairs in the kitchen? (This section of ceiling will be replaced anyway). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
