Clunking hardwood floor....

[Jeff C.]

My brother used this and was happy with results. He added wood glue using syringe like posted above then used these snap screws to draw it together.

One tip he gave me was to soap/wax the screw first. It goes in easier and doesn't cause premature snapping off of the screw head.

I have hardwood throughout house with the same issue in hallway. But I also like knowing if someone is coming so the squeak will stay for now.

I got a dog that will bark if a deer is in the yard, when the dog is in the house. Don't need no squeaky floor.

Appreciate the info on soap/wax....good idea.

The nail beside the joist is often the culprit like 1gr8 said. Way we find them is 1 guy on the floor making it squeek, other guy underneath with a 3' section of water hose to use as a stethoscope to pinpoint the squeek. We have done the shim glue (liquid nails heavy duty)and screw from underneath most times.

LOL, I have one homeowner that calls every time they hear anything, even if it's one time only. Hunting for a ghost squeak can be frustrating.
