Got a squeaky floor? This can easily fix it. Even better? This is an amazing side hustle to make $200-400/day! Check out my channel for more info on how to start a side hustle with this!
I tried this method years ago on hardwood floors from the late 1940s. If you don't find the joist it is useless. The hardest part was filling the holes. I tried Minwax Blend-Fil crayon and Dap Plastic Wood putty and over time the material just pops out of the hole. The Minwax Blend-Fil crayon worked better.
Or you could go under and slide a shim between the sheeting and joist. Then you don’t have a hole in your finished floor. If it’s a second floor, cut out just that piece of flooring and screw the sheeting. Then replace flooring
@@jakee8704 notice he only stepped in that specific spot after the "fix" but when stepping initially, he was bouncing back and forth between that spot and another with his left foot. I think the squeak was at his left foot the whole time.
Is the screw visible in fix? Glue is much better, that would take a lot more time but you wouldn’t have a funny looking screw sticking out of your floor.
The way I fixed my laminate floors was to drill a small hole and use a turkey basting syringe and inject wood glue. It worked GREAT. it takes a few days to fully cure but leaves no trace. I had put high quality flooring over an old floor which had dents. I used quite a bit of glue and did 10 spots. Now it's rock hard.
Google squeaky floor fix screws and you’ll find it. You do have to fill in the hole with wood glue/paint. It’s not going to look perfect, but you hardly notice it day to day
The way you did it is better. Shimming and gluing from under is the way to go unless you can’t access underneath. This method sucks and leaves an ugly hole in the floor
@@tornadre well these guys that did the shimming didn't know what they were doing. The squeaks are already back and just as bad by the time I read this reply... 🤦♂️ I'm definitely getting this kit, it's so bad idec if I have to fill a 60 holes with wood glue and one of those sticks. The logic of this makes so much more sense... Your literally fastening the floor back to the joists like it's supposed to. The shims don't even work because you can't even test to make sure you fixed anything and you can't even work shims around ductwork, pipes, light fixtures and wires. I made a mistake having these guys waste all this time and glue bullshit.
@@OneHundy squeaking is hard to ignore, i've been living in my house with creaky and squeaky floors and trying to move around at night without waking anyone is very hard
The perfect solution to this. Don't fit shitty laminate flooring. Coming from a floor layer buy luxury vinyl tile perfect flat floor with stuck down planks no squeeky floor and they look 100 times better. Thank me later 👍🏽
Countless times I have seen squeaky laminate flooring and its mostly down to 2 things , either its been incorrectly installed or the wrong type of underlay has been used . Alot of new build homes make wood flooring difficult due the sub floor always being uneven but the correct underlay can correct this
depends on your flooring, I ran a box cutter / stanley knife along the joins where the creak is to clean them out, then I poured in PVA glue in the crack/join, (you can thin it with water) but clean it up immediately, then let it dry overnight. there is a great chance your floor wont creak in the morning.
Looks like he missed his mark the first time and had to try again. Just like every other hack in the industrie. Just keep putting holes till i find my mark and who cares that it looks like shit for the homeowner its not his house. Maybe next time take the time and do it the right way.
What if an entire area of floor is squeaky ? Also if you Walk barefoot now you hit something every-time and it scratches up your foot. Moral of the story: Laminate sucks it’ll squeak whether you drop water or walk over it over time . Eventually your entire house is one orchestra of squeak
