Over time, hard surface flooring expands and shrinks with humidity and temperature changes.&nbsp; This is normal for all things in your home.&nbsp; When this happens, it creates gaps in the flooring.&nbsp; These gaps create friction when rubbed together.&nbsp; That rubbing together happens when someone walks across a floor.&nbsp; The difference in weight placed on one or two boards causes them to move into the space of another board and thus, creaking.&nbsp; This process happens faster in environments that have drastic temperature and climate changes within a short period of time.&nbsp; For example, some northern regions of the United States have cold winters and hot, humid summers.&nbsp; Or further south, where hurricanes and tropical storms cause severe humidity increases that will cause boards to expand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-sub-floor-issues\">Sub-Floor Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction-1024x797.jpg\" alt=\"creaking floors repair\" class=\"wp-image-6854\" width=\"358\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction-1024x797.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction-1536x1195.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/sub-floor-being-nailed-to-joists-new-construction-2048x1593.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like discussed above, those environmental changes also affect the sub-floor.&nbsp; The sub-floor is ordinarily made from plywood.&nbsp; Plywood is a manufactured product where thin layers of wood veneer are glued together while alternating the direction of the grain of wood with each layer.&nbsp; This allows for strength and stability as a base layer.&nbsp; The flooring of choice sits on top of this layer of plywood.&nbsp; When temperature or humidity levels change, this can warp the plywood.&nbsp; As the plywood warps one way, and the top layers of flooring warp another, it causes gaps between the layers.&nbsp; When pressure is put on that gap, the rubbing of the 2 layers causes floor creaking.&nbsp; Unfortunately, over time, this constant friction can deteriorate the sub-floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-poor-construction\">Poor Construction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-scaled.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"best way to fix creaking floors\" class=\"wp-image-6855\" width=\"255\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/angled-nail-in-sub-floor-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the least common reasons for a floor that creaks is because of poor construction.&nbsp; During the rough construction phase of a home, the sub-floor is screwed into floor joists.&nbsp; This anchors the plywood to the \u201cbones\u201d of the home.&nbsp; The flooring will sit on top of this sub-floor.&nbsp; If someone misses the joist when screwing from above, that portion of the sub-floor may not be properly adhered to the joist and will cause squeaking. If the screw goes in at an angle and catches only a portion of the joist, that screw will become loose with the expansion and contraction of the joist wood and will also be a catalyst for creaking.&nbsp; This is especially prevalent in new homes with floor creaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you need to replace old flooring or have your sub-floor checked, The Carpet Guys have qualified professional installers that can help.&nbsp; Our teams are experienced in all sorts of creaking floor corrections.&nbsp; If you\u2019re looking for some quick fixes, check out our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-squeaky-floors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Fix Squeaky Floors<\/a>.&nbsp; Otherwise, call 855-4-MY-GUYS (855-469-4897) or go online to set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free In-Home Estimate<\/a>.&nbsp; One of our knowledgeable Design Consultants will come to your home and assess your flooring needs.
