126 years old house with carpeted upstairs floors with cat urine
Imagine finding a charming century old home that had tons of updates and taking care of. You walk in, go "aaaaaaa beautiful" as you see the staircase. Walk into the first room, floors been redone, not bad. Hear the air conditioner kick in and a second later cat urine smell hits. Oh no. Tried to ignore the smell for a little and walked upstairs, found the culprit. Thick carpet with urine stains all over. I know I would need to rip out all carpet. But what are the chances I don't need to rip out the floors and subfloors? Anyone with actual expertise? Love the woodwork, huge updates kitchen and a lot of good, but dang!
I'm not afraid of bigger projects, but looking for some insight.
Thanks!
