Why Are My Wood Floors Squeaking?
Wood floor damage can occur for a variety of reasons, including environmental changes or improper installation. Squeaks may be caused by one or more of the following:
- Loose Floorboards: Squeaking often occurs when wood floorboards are not securely fastened. Over time, nails or staples can loosen, causing the boards to rub against each other.
- Subfloor Problems: If the subfloor is uneven, damaged, or not properly secured to the joists, then you may hear squeaking and creaking when you walk.
- Moisture Damage: Wood is sensitive to moisture. If the floorboards have absorbed excess moisture, they can swell, warp, or loosen up, leading to squeaks.
How We Get Rid of Wood Floor Squeaking
We fix wood floor squeaks through a simple process. Here’s how it works:
The Squeak Knights team will visit your home to assess and analyze not only the areas affected but also the symptoms that caused the squeaks.

Post-Hardwood Floor Repair: What to Do
After we’re done repairing your hardwood, keeping it maintained and cared for is crucial. We recommend keeping your humidity and moisture levels even. Not too high, and not too low. Excessive moisture in your home, exceeding 55% or 60%, can lead to mould and bacteria growth within your hardwood floorboards. On the other hand, if the moisture dips below 30% or 40%, your floorboards may warp or contract, which could cause cracking.
