WHY ARE MY FLOORS CREAKING?

There are a few explanations for your creaking floors. The floors of old house will start to creak because of time, but if your home is new, squeaking floors might be unnerving. Floors can begin to creak due to:

  • Bad construction or a hurried construction job
  • Expanding and contracting wood because of the changing seasons
  • A pier and beam foundation, which has more "give" than a slab foundation
  • Slanting floors caused by foundation settlement
  • Foundation issues caused by expansive soil in Charleston or other sources
