Best Answer

Subflooring is the wood on which the visible floor is lain. A rotted wood subflooring is when the subfloor timbers have been exposed to water and have begun to rot, thus undermining the floor as a whole. The floor will have to be removed and the subfloor replaced.

Is wood decomposing a physical or chemical change?

The rotting of wood is a chemical change because of many reasons. One of the reasons is because when wood rots, it produces mold, which is a new substance. The definition of chemical change is a change that produces one or more new substances. When the wood rots, you are unable to take the rotted wood and mold and make it back into wood that is yet to be rotted. So because the wood produces one (or more) new substances, the rotting of wood is a chemical change.
