Sure.

No, but once I inspected an office addition to a machine shop where the owner had floored over old carpet glued to a slab with 3/4 T&G and left it bare.

Employees had smelled something funny and had bored through the wood for a sniff.  They were worried about stealth infection by toxic mold after seeing scary TV stories.

About once a week.

Right, if there's central heating, you lift a heat register. If no luck there, find a closet where you can lift the carpet.

I just grab my hawkbill and head to the middle of the room - like a surgeon goin' after that appendix.

A knife mostly used for cutting carpet.
