3/8" Brazilian Cherry from Lumber Liquidators

08/09/2009 07:52 PM Gandalf1

We purchased 3/8" Brazilian Cherry from Lumber Liquidators in the summer of 2007. We took the old floor up all the way to the 2x8 tongue and groove Doug Fir. 3/4" AC (sanded) plywood was then placed on top of the tongue and groove. Then 15# felt tar paper was then placed on top of the plywood. The hardwood was stapled to that subfloor. We are having slight cupping problems that I had begun to notice about 6 months ago. It has gotten worse over the last months. What is going on? I contacted Lumber Liquidators and they indicated that it was a moisture problem. Where is the moisture coming from? We have black plastic on the floor of our crawl space and insulation in the floor. Could you please advise.

Thank you.
