Squeaky floors — New York, New York
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.
