Here are Some Tps You Might Find Useful
November 17, 2010
Often when showing a two story home or a home on a raised foundation, there can be squeaks in the floor. I was reading a book published by the editors of FC&A Publishing and came across these four possible solutions.
1) "Generously dust talcum powder between the noisy boards of hardwood floors. Lay down a towel and step on it to work the powder into the nooks and crannies. If you still hear a creak, apply more talcum powder."
2) "Work liquid wax between the boards of waxed wood floors. Don't try this on floors w varnish or urethane coating."
3) "Squeeze a long bead of construction adhesive along the crack where the floor boards meet the joists, for floors where the joists are exposed. Do this from the underside of the floor."
4) "Buy an inexpensive tool called the Squeeeeek No More to fix carpeted floors when you can't get to the joists.It guides a screw through the carpet into the underlying floor joist. Then it snaps off the screw head so it's totally hidden by carpet. Check your local Hardware store for this product or buy it online at http://www.squeaknomore.com/"
It is always a treat to come across these suggestions for simple fixes to annoying problems. Let me know if you have success with any of these techniques.
