Chalet with a rotted basement floor
I'm looking for information and causes from others (especially Chalet owners) that have experienced a failure of their TC basement floor from rot (from being wet or dry rot?). I have a 2012 Chalet TS...

Have you had a leak test done? Is it possible that the water tracked in from above somewhere?
If no one does leak testing near you check out the "stickies" and see the DIY Leak Testing. We used a shop vac and taped over the A/C and all exterior vents and sink & shower traps. Showed us a hidden leak on the roof that had rotted the cab over so badly it would have failed in the next year. Ours is a 2014 model TC (not Chalet) that had manufacturing issues so it was fixed under warranty.
Anyway, I would always recommend a leak test for any structural damage. You might be surprised.
