Tips:
Silence a Squeaky Floor |
|
Problem
Squeaks are caused by wood rubbing against wood or wood rubbing against
nails in a floor that has loosened. If you can get to your floor from
a basement or crawlspace, most homeowners should be able to repair
a squeak easily with the following quick fix:
Solution
While you are standing under the area that is causing the problem,
have someone walk across the floor so you can locate the exact location
of the squeak. Coat a shim with wood glue and tap it lightly into
the space between joist and floor, making sure that you don't raise
the floor further by pushing it in too far.
