I have got about half way down my hall when in the middle there is a few that are higher than the rest,this isnt noticable to the naked eye but when i place as level on them you can just make it out.The problem comes when i pass over these as i cannot interconnect the ajacent ones as they are a little higher and they begin to buckle.
Apart from putting new boards down does anyone have any ideas.
Thankyou in advance

Perhaps you can sand the high spots out of the subfloor.

I don't understand what you are asking. Is this a T&G floor, apparently not. If not, you should be able to nail down the errant boards. Just follow the existing nailing patterns. If it is T&G, that is another issue, but still most likely needs nails.
