Crunching Sound Walking On New Tile Floor

Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor.

Crunching sound walking on new tile floor.

It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout. There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it. New floor installation being prepared reinforced above with deck 2 1 2 screws and below nailed 2 6 supports between joists every 16 or so. I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy.

So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what. As stated above if the floor is installed over a wood substrate and not placed in a staggered pattern with gaps and not fastened properly floors with ceramic tile installed over them can squeak. A hollow sound when walking on floors is much more common with laminate flooring than it is with vinyl flooring. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there.

Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on. We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago. Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound. There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on.

My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking. If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things. I have owned it since 2012. Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting.

Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away. If your wood floor is already down this might mean you have to pull up the section that squeaks to repair the subfloor and then put down a new section of flooring. Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound. On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound.

About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles. My house was built in 1956. Not if the subfloor is properly prepped. I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago.

There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up. Do your floors sound hollow when installed. Floors that make a popping sound. I looked but saw no crack in the grout around the tiled area.

Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. Is there anything i can pump in between tiles where grout is if i look it up that would secure the tiles again without pulling them up.
