Squeaky floors — Alicante, Valencian Community
Squeaky floors are caused by loose subflooring, dried-out joists, or nails rubbing against wood. While not always a structural concern, persistent squeaking can indicate that the subfloor is pulling away from the joists. A carpenter can secure the subfloor and eliminate the noise.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Alicante
Alicante's strong expat and holiday rental market drives demand for furniture installation, fitted wardrobes, and interior fit-outs as owners upgrade properties. Traditional Mediterranean pine and algarrobo woodwork in older homes is susceptible to woodworm, and moisture from proximity to the sea causes swelling in wooden window frames.
