Crunching Sound Walking On New Tile Floor

There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on.

Crunching sound walking on new tile floor. So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what. I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there. About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles.

I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago. Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting. Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound.

There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath. It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout. Floors that make a popping sound. Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound.

My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking. There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it. 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.

The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket. 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. I looked but saw no crack in the grout around the tiled area. My house was built in 1956.

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. Pulling them up is not an option. Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor. 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.

A hollow sound when walking on floors is much more common with laminate flooring than it is with vinyl flooring. 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. Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away. There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up.

If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things. I have owned it since 2012.
