Hey all,
We recently purchased a unit and pulled up the old carpet. In the area where the metal carpet strip was removed we found holes on either side in the hardwood floor. My best guess is moisture got into the carpet here and was held in by the strip (just a guess as the area has no other water damage in the roof or surrounds, and isn't near a window or pipes)
We don't want to replace the whole thing as we're planning to put floating floors over it. So, how should we go about patching it for that? Or is it ok to put the floating floors over the top? 
Hole
For context, directly below is the crawlspace below the unit. Critters coming up is a concern.
