Good to Know
> 🔩 **Screws beat nails** - original floors were nailed. Nails work loose over time, which is why they squeak. Screws pull the board tight and stay tight. **Squeak causes:** - Boards loose from joists - Boards rubbing each other - Joists moving on bearings - Gaps developed over time **Through carpet:** - Can often fix without lifting - Screw through carpet pile - Barely visible - Much less disruption
Frequently Asked Questions about Squeaky floor repair in Tiverton
Why do floors squeak?
Movement. Boards rub against each other or against nails/joists when you walk. The noise is timber rubbing on timber or metal. Fixing it means stopping the movement.
Can squeaks be fixed without lifting the carpet?
Sometimes. We can often screw through carpet into the joist below, which secures the board without removing flooring. Some situations need access underneath.
Will the fix last?
Yes - screws hold better than nails and don't work loose. Once the movement is stopped, the squeak stays gone.
Can you fix squeaky stairs too?
Yes - stairs squeak for similar reasons. We can secure treads from above or below depending on access.
