I have never commented on anything but I am so happy with my formerly creaky stairs after following these instructions, I had to post. Don’t skip the glue! I tried just putting in screws at first and it helped a little, but then I finally got around to doing the glue and the things are silent now. Thanks!

In the process of replacing carpet so great chance to fix squeaky stairs...great vid. One question. The bottom riser is quite loose where it meets the floor, which is concrete. Would screwing from the top and PVA along the bottom edge work here too? Not sure how well PVA will stick wood to concrete? I'm thinking it may be better to use a stronger adhesive (like epoxy?) and / or drill a hole and squirt some expanding foam filler behind it. Cheers.

I'm attempting to sort the stairs in my house, but for some reason a wall was built half way down the stairs, so only have access to around.a third of the underside, so this video is most helpful. The main problem I'm having is a number of the risers are split across the full width of the stairs, and since I do not have access to the underside, can you suggest a way that I can fix the problem?
