My neighbor's 1980s kitchen floor went from wavy to flat in two days

They had that old sheet vinyl glued right to the plywood, with waves you could trip on. I tore it out, put down a layer of 1/4 inch underlayment, and nailed it every 6 inches. Who still thinks you can just slap new vinyl over a bad subfloor?

Oh, that underlayment is key.

Bet that 1/4 inch underlayment saved your floor joists from rotting, too.

That sounds like a nightmare, glad you fixed it right.
