Slab or crawl space: Columbia’s homes and their floors
Pre-war houses often have original heart pine or oak under carpet or vinyl, and refinishing it is usually the better floor and the better value than anything new laid over it.
In older houses the subfloor is plank, not plywood, and the floor is rarely level; the installer who plans for both is the one whose floor does not squeak.
How the house sits — slab or crawl, one story or two, a bonus room over the garage — sets the subfloor conditions and the product that will stay flat on them.
Newer houses have plywood or OSB subfloors and builder-grade carpet and vinyl plank on top; the first replacement is straightforward if the subfloor was fastened properly, which is what the walk-through checks.
Over a crawl space the moisture comes from below, and the vapor barrier in the crawl is part of the flooring job whether the installer says so or not.

What has Columbia floors coming up
A great many Middle Tennessee homes sit over vented crawl spaces, and that single fact drives most flooring decisions here. Humidity under the floor moves seasonally, solid hardwood laid over it cups in August and gaps in January, and a moisture test before installation is not a formality. Engineered wood and rigid vinyl exist largely to solve this problem, which is why they dominate the region.
- Soft or springy spots underfoot, which is a subfloor problem not a flooring one
- A floor covering that stops in the middle of an open plan for no reason
- Carpet matted in the traffic lanes or showing seams
- Hardwood cupping, gapping in winter, or gray where the finish has worn through
No expansion gap. A floating floor needs room at the perimeter. Trapped against the wall it peaks in the middle of the room.
