Just learned that my subfloors may be rotten due to lack of proper ventilation under the house.
sorry, i have no helpful info to offer
but stories like this are what really scares me about insulating a raised house
i have looked into spray foam and other solutions but the moisture barrier it creates seems to be more of a negative then the hvac loss coming from the floors
so far i have done nothing because, quite frankly, im afraid to cause more issues by trying to insulate my floors

This has nothing to do with insulation...The house is maybe 2 feet off the ground, but apparently there was not enough ventilation with the small portholes/cutouts that are around the brick foundation. The house is 70 years old, and redone after Katrina. I'm not sure where the "moisture" is coming from, but the expert assumed it just came up from the ground underneath the house.
