Existing subfloor is 24" on center and 23/32" OSB. The finished floor will be LVP.
The two problems with existing subfloor:
1. The OSB boards were originally tongue and groove but were pulled up hastily after the room flooded and the 'tongues' were destroyed but the same boards were used when the subfloor was put back together. So of course there is flex at many of the seams.
2. No construction adhesive was used when the subfloor was put back together.
One side of the room the subfloor is super solid. The other side half of the seams flex. My question, do I pull up the existing and start from scratch or would a second subfloor negate the two problems with the existing subfloor?
