---------------------------------
I've been in my house for 5 yrs with a rotten cabinet base (and new plumbing..go figure)and decided to finally rip it out but had no idea how to replace the floor and have no one to help. Thank God for CZcams and people like you!
He's a provider! thank you so much for sharing this sara! you've made me a success..thank you.
Exactly my sentiments on both accounts!
Thank God for you and youtubeđ
This was my exact problem as well....No idea where to start or what I might be getting into
You had the same situation as me, only my under sink floor base has been missing in action for last 10 years. I echo you in saying thank GOD for CZcams and Homemender!
Thank you. Your explanations and delivery deserve an A+: no unnecessary chatter; clearly spoken; good audio; and stable camera work without inadvertently hiding what your hands are doing. I think I can do this.
so awesome shannon!.. that makes the video a success..thanks for watching!
This video is half as long and does a better job than the first guy I pulled up. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely my friend thank you Shane I appreciate the comment!
Great vid!!!! A couple suggestions, use pressure treated plywood for the replacement base or at least treat the untreated plywood. Also, use galvanized nails or screws for extra protection for an extra couple pennies. Lastly, caulk the seam if you have to cut the plywood base in half. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you mp!
Thank you for posting this, I was able to change in just a few hours!! What bothered me for over 2 years is now fixed!!
awesome ac! thanks for sharing!
Did yours smell? Mine smells horrible and idk what the smell is coming from
Watching this in 2024! Thankfully cabinets haven't changed all that much in 8 years. Thank you for the help!
You better believe it, my friend thank you Josiah and I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Great video and well done. Specific and to the point without constant repeating and BS. Thank you Dustin it was a big help for me.
thats awesome D. so glad we could help! we appreciate the comments!
Good info but your fortunate enough to not have hot and cold pipes running from the base. You did a great job!
thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! you are the first person to show exactly how to do it!!!
Thank you M. I appreciate the comment! Hearting this one.
A handyman who gets right to the point. đ
Thank you my friend. I appreciate the comment.
Dude, this is awesome! My sink floor is toast, and since I'm renting, I honestly don't want my landlord taking care of it, since it'll never get done. I can do this!
You are awesome JM. Thatâs something to be proud of.
Thank you so much. I had a rotted sink cabinet floor and you gave me the know how and confidence to tackle the job myself. Thanks CZcams and people like you.đ€đ€đđ
Thank you Diana. Love to hear it. Thanks for sharing. !
This is a great video! Some videos make it look like this is the hardest job in the world, but this one is the best.
awesome Michelle. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching! You can do it!
It's a pretty easy job when there are no pipes going through the cabinet bottom. Some of the other videos show a cabinet like mine, with three pipes through the floor. That makes it way more complex.
that does complicate things. You would still do it the same way but measure the location of the pipes, drill the holes for them, then cut the board so you can peice them in. i hope this helps!
Thank you for this video! Out of all the ones Iâve seen this one is the most helpful and has clear instructions.
Love this comment. Thank you.
Thank you for the training, just retired so I am learning to do a lot myself. Thanks .
You got this bb. Thank you so much for sharing
I was on the right track, just needed a professional to agree. Thanks so muchâșïž At first I was thinking buy a new cabinet, but the more I looked and felt how sturdy the rest of the cabinet was, I thought...wonder if I can fix just the floor? Once again, thanks so much!
Awesome. This comment is getting the heart. Thank you.
Thanks for this! Iâve been planning to add peel & stick linoleum to the bottom of my kitchen base cabinets but the sink base is warped. Definitely going to tackle this first so theyâre all straight.
That is awesome eve. Thank you for sharing! You got this
Needing to replace the decking under my kitchen sink. I had the exact same idea that you show in your video - tear out, frame below and plywood panel. THANKS for confirming it!
thanks so much for commenting!
You have the best videos. I've lost count of the number of projects I've completed with your guidance. Thanks, dude!
thank you thunnus! so glad to help!
I did this myself a few years ago. Sadly I didnât see your video and now have to replace the rotted junk I put in. Thankfully I have your guidance now!!
So cool Julia. Happy to have you :-)
You really have no idea how much easier you made this job!! Thanks so much!!
no problem miss eve! thanks for commenting!
You make it look so easy, Iâm gonna try it but I know it will take me forever đ thank you đ
Thank you star. You got this
"Home owner special!" Lol good job brođ€
thank you irock!. appreciate you friend!
Keep up the good work and vids.
Please guys, wear a mask and gloves! If water was standing on the floor board for a while before it was discovered, you can have some very toxic molds still underneath that board. I've seen more than one guy end up in the ER after doing this type of work, same for dishwasher repair and bathroom vanities. Oh and don't leave the mold in there, clean it out before you put the new board in.
thanks for sharing!
@@homemend Thatâs my concern as well. How do you safely identify and âcleanâ the mold?
Hey J!...if its black, i would hit it with mold and mildew killer..not bleach...this is a myth that bleach works...HD has a decent mold and mildew killer for 7-8 buckw .if its really bad, i would pull it..i hope this helps!
@@homemend Thatâs fantastic! Thank you so much for your quick response! đ Iâve subscribed and look forward to your future videos. Merry Christmas, too!
No
thanks dusty, i have this exact problem.. thanks for showing me what i gotta do
Awesome Josh. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Thankyou for this video! So informative and exactly what I needed to know about fixing my floor board. đđ»
So awesome Casey glad it helped you out :-)
What a champion dude. Thanks
Thank you frag! âđŒ
Damn, that looks easy. My father has an apartment and he keeps wanting to use the original frame that was under the sink that came with the cabinet. The tenants he's had over the last few years were from Turkey, and they've ALL had problems with indoor plumbing. Toilets going over, leaks that never get fixed, and they've made a mess of things. This helps IMMENSELY. Thanks.
youre awesome robot! Thanks or watching!
Update; Slight variation on the theme. I made a frame out of three 2x4's cut 20 3/4 inches long, then used wood screws to fasten one inch cross members to the top of them, and secure the whole thing and to cap it, similar to what you said. Mounting some 3/4 inch plywood on top. Bing, bang, BOOM!!! Took me about an hour or so. The ugly rotted parts left showing I'll trim away, and make it look nice.
Again, thanks so much!!
well done! Thanks robot
Excellent! Thank you. I'm going to try and do this myself. Great video.
Hey anna! That makes it all worth it! thanks so much for sharing! You got this!

Oh may the good Lord bless you and yours Iâm so excited to do this! I HATE seeing the rot in my bathroom, just what I needed thank you.
Thank you JE. You got this
Very good. Thanks. I guess I would have to cut out openings in the new floor were water supply lines come up.
You are awesome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this it gives me the info I need to try this.
Awesome thank you Evelyn
Thanks for the video man, it really saved my butt this evening when I found standing water under my sink. Luckily it hadnât soaken through the base board to the floor below.
awesome david! so glad i could help!
Liked and subscribed just because it was simple AF thanks.

I pulled this video up for a friend.Good video but can I add one tip..9 time out of 10 you can slide the floor piece in from the side almost vertically behind the center post.Then kick the bottom edge in so it lays flat.Stronger and looks like new.If it won't go in you can always cut it down the middle after trying one full piece.
hi gueto. great tips! thanks for sharing. spoiler here. already knew it wouldnt fit..lol thanks for watching!
Awesome job, very helpful, especially using the pallet baseđ
thank you margaret!! So glad you enjoyed it..Thanks for commenting!

perfect, exactly what i am looking for
Thank you my friend
You make this look too easy!! Thank you!
You got this!
Your setup is sooo easy. I have my main pipes for the water supply coming up from the bottom so I will have to cut around them.
hi james.. that is a little tougher..you can still lay it out the same way but before cutting, mark and drill your holes for the pipe, then make your cut to split those holes. the floor will piece in right around them..i hope this helps.. thanks for watching!
Thank you. For mine it is a bit more challenging as the right half of the cabinet is a blind corner.
The cabinets are over 24 yrs old, and I'm debating just replacing them or fixing the bottom of the sink.
This is the 2nd leak we had.
Hey walker, you are right at the cut off point at 24 years my friend. Good luck to you!
@@homemend thank you and great tutorial. I passed it on to my husband so we can decide how to proceed.
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you Jane!
Just moved into a new house, and the cabinet flooring in all cabinets drives me nuts! Although this video is 7 years old, thank you! This straight to the point explanation is exactly what i needed đ

Thank you Margaret. I appreciate the comment!
Super! Thanks so much. Wil be busy today fixing it
You got this Jesus! I love it when people call me that!
This is a great video & very straightforward-Iâm gona go for it! âŠMy only question is how I can create the frame. I donât have any pallets. Any suggestions?
Great question⊠Any scrap wood in your garage can be used to build the frame if you have none, used two by fours⊠Sometimes the big box stores have damaged ones that you can get for half price. You got this
Thanks D Iâm in the middle of it now
You got this!
Ur a god better then replacing everything
Thank you my friend. I appreciate the comment Jesus number one.
Thank you I just fixed mine đ

thank you!
Thank you for this. Very helpful!
Thank you Nubian. Appreciate you
Just bought a house and I have to do this. BIG help!
thank you daniel!
Thank you so much! Every time I see mine it makes me sad and this looks like itâs not even a hard repair. I donât have an actual mold problem thankfully (just one sudden pipe failure that swelled the mdf in a big circle) but the look of it was depressing me. Iâm going to add fixing this to my to do list alongside removing some awful cove base from my kitchen that the previous owner attached with what appears to be black magic because it melted the toe kick under it.
That is awesome me. Thank you so much for sharing! You got this
Your the best I learn a lot you have a new subscriber
You are welcome my friend. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this. I inherited early my motherâs old home. She has mold in the bottom of hers but thereâs a pipe running to the floor under her kitchen sink instead of through the wall. Same with the restroom. Her back wall in the rr under the sink is sinking in from water damage. Not sure how we will repair that đ©
Hey Liz. There are plenty of videos here on the channel for you to take care of that. It sounds like you would need to remove the base cabinet. You got this.
Very good and easy to follow. Thanks.
Thank you Q. I appreciate the comment
Two videos I've watched of your's's (you'sin's?) have made what I thought was going to be a huge ordeal into a lazy afternoon project.
Thanks, man!
awesome mahnarch! you can do it!
glad I watched I need to change the wood under my sink the wood is bad thank you know I now how to do it
you can do it raychel!
Thanks! I've been wondering how to do this, with a center divider like you have. Making the framework to rest the new floor on is the key.
awesome V1 ! enjoy your new cabinet base! thanks for commenting!
@@homemend I noticed you had a center wood in there did you take that center wood out?
wow bro big help two boards im glad didnt cut the sitles!

Great video -- very helpful. Thank you!
thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, so helpful! I know this is from awhile ago, but wondering if you could please explain how to replace the back of the cabinet like you mentioned? The water damage is bad under the sink in the house we just bought, and the bottom and back of that cabinet both need to be replaced but I canât figure out how to do the back đ„șđ
Hey RW. You may try putting a false wall back there. Secure some pieces of wood to the side so you have something to nail the back panel too. Hope this helps
Lol. My hubby said the whole cabinet would have to be replaced so couldnt do it. I just sent him this videođ
I love you dina Thank you so much for sharing this⊠My sister name is Dina.

cool thanks bud
Thank you James!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Simple and easy thank you
thank you cornell!
ââŠ.look like a homeownerâs special.ââŠ.uses old pallets and 2x4s in place of a properly build frame.
I frame mine in 1x4 oak around the perimeter, all pocket screwed together. I use scrap 1x4 to set the height in the 4 corners. Donât forget the brace in the middle if needed.
After setting in the plywood, protect it with adhesive contact paper, preferably a vinyl product. Covers the seem as well so future leaks donât go through the seem and into your pallet wood.
Hey CLS. Great suggestions. I donât usually make hidden frames out of finished wood, Thanks for sharing
Thanks
thank you J!
Thank u for this video I will try
you can do it maria! thanks for watching!
Where does one obtain "old pallet wood" ... esp. when "one" (me) doesn't normally do this sort of work? Alternatively, what's an alternative to that foundation?
Hey wii. Pallets from the Home Depot. They donât mind giving a few away at times buy a simple 2x4 frame will suffice!
Hi! How can I tell if it is mold or mildew? I am super scared of mold. It is in my elderly mom's house under kitchen sink. I got the leak stopped- but I am afraid to clean the cabinet- it has black stuff. I am pretty sure I did the wrong thing and sprayed clorox bleach all purpose cleaner on it but have since heard that bleach wasn't a good idea. Any suggestions on what to do? Any help is appreciated.
Hi Catherine. You are awesome first of all. Second I like to use a mold and mildew killer. They only offer one at the Home Depot. There is also some mold armor stuff that is pretty awesome that kills removes and prevents. The difference between mold and mildew? Iâm no expert but I know mold keeps growing. That mold armor stuff itâs pretty awesome. Make sure itâs Well ventilated when youâre using it if you want to taste your lunch that day. I hope this helps and thank you so much for doing your moms house!
thank you
Right back at you!
Thanks brother!
Yes my friend. Thank you.
Great video!!
