How to Fix Squeaky Floors

Squeaky floors can be annoying, but fixing them is easier than you think! Start by identifying the cause of the squeak, whether it’s loose floorboards or a gap between the subfloor and joist. For a quick fix, sprinkle talcum powder or graphite into the cracks to reduce friction. If you're up for a more permanent solution, secure the loose boards with screws or nails, or even install wood shims to fill gaps. Learn how to handle squeaks in different flooring types, from hardwood to carpet, and restore peace and quiet to your home.
