Warning: Skipping moisture checks before laying laminate flooring ruined my subfloor.

I laid laminate flooring in my bathroom without testing for moisture first. Now the planks are warping and I have to replace the whole subfloor. Always use a moisture meter before you start.

It’ll also void the warranty on most flooring. Gotta check that moisture no matter what.

Seal the subfloor first, it's cheaper than fixing a ruined floor later.
