View Full Version : Squeaky Oak 2nd floor, HELP...

Can anyone help on squeaky floors without being able to get to them from the underside? I have tried the powder approach with no real gains. If possible, as you can guess, I don't want exposed fasteners... Any ideas? If the fasteners are the only route, what do you think of using those "trim kind-of countersink, small head, with the square drive"? Think they will hold? Any easy way to be sure that I can find and screw though to the floor joists to be sure that it isn't sub floor problem?
Refinising is in the next plan...I can't stand the creaks! I bet my tennants down stairs love it just as much... Thanks Jim the Metal Man (Sheet Metal)

We have no idea re: installation method, subflooring type or thickness, if wood was properly acclimated before installation, etc. Thus, it's tough to offer you suggestions to remedy your problem.
