Squeaky Floor
We are buying a brand new condo and I have found a couple of spots on the main floor that squeak when stepped on. The basement is unfinished and I can see the beams. Is there anything I can do before we put up a ceiling in the basement that will eliminate the squeaks?
It depends on what is on the floor that is squeaking. I'm no expert, but I have seen screws that you screw right through carpet into the joist and then it breaks off so you don't see the screw from above at all. Hopefully not from below either.
Tell us what kind of floor you have so others can comment on that. I have tile so the above mentioned suggestion will not work for me. I'm scared to screw in from below for fear I will get into the tile.
Good luck,
