| Nov 27, 2018 at 17:20 | comment | added | Ed Beal | It looks like the buckling was caused from wet wood. We see this on flooring when the humidity changes the wood expands and needs a place to expand. You may be able to dry it out but if it gets wet again it will bulge or buckel, this area looks to be somewhat exposed to the weather so I would pull the screws and reset the planks with a little space, also a slight cut out at the wall. Since your boards are beveled a slight spacing should not look bad. | |

| Nov 26, 2018 at 8:28 | comment | added | Koray | Sorry for my bad English; tomorrow I'll add new photos to describe the situation better. The 1st layer's boards (2x20xWidth of the whole basement) are perpendicular to the beams and the 2nd (the upper problem layer) is on the same direction with the beams. They all screwed on the beams. | |
| Nov 25, 2018 at 5:44 | comment | added | Jack | It is not the finish, I suspect it is how thin the upper layer is and how often and where it is fastened. The upper layer, running paralel with the support beams, and you have it fastened at the support beams, is it fastened to the 2cmX20cm between the beams? | |
| Nov 24, 2018 at 22:24 | comment | added | Jasen | subfloor framing seems to run the wrong direction - I suspect your illustration is wrong. | |
