Chad Fabry Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Did she ever notice where she put the mop?
Marc Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Looks more like nipples than ripples. Seriously, if the sellers had been living there for many, many years they may have been so accustomed to it that they didn't really notice it anymore. Marc
Denray Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 Must be nails coming up out of the sub floor?
hausdok Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 The floor covering is just nearing puberty. OT - OF!!! M.
kurt Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 The guy didn't know how to fasten underlayment.
AHI in AR Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Looks to me like what I'm seeing are countersunk nails/ hammer marks in the underlayment which the installer neglected to fill with compound before gluing the vinyl down.

kurt Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 They are. When you set underlayment, you should skim it with Jif Set or similar leveling compound so the nails don't show up like this. The slightest bump or unevenness will be magnified and accentuated when the vinyl is installed.
