Plumbing Recommendation (leak & potential sub-floor issues)

[George Red]

Addressing a water issue in a duplex bathroom where a sustained leak has led to softening of the subfloor. I'm finding that plumbers will address any leaks/stoppage but often do not touch subflooring repairs. Anyone with a recommendation for a KC plumber that handles both or partners with another vendor who would address potential sub floor issues. Been in touch with some plumbers and I assume the two issues go hand in hand so thinking plumbers would have a partner/vendor they work with for these kinds of things but having issues finding someone to address both and trying not to coordinate two separate vendors.

Any advice appreciated!

I own a plumbing company and plumbers generally won’t repair your subfloor, now would you want them to. The rates plumbers charge is going to be much higher than your carpenter. 

Sometimes we will have a recommendation for you, but not always. 

Depending on the severity of the damage, you need a carpenter or even a general handyman. A general contractor is probably not needed, but again that depends on the severity and your level of experience
