How to Repair Squeaky Floors Easy

[@darrelltetreault5490]

Thank you for doing this video, I got the kit and thx to your video, the process was very easy to follow...nice job...I have saved the video and will share.

[@Tom-Fisherman]

Oh man! You've saved my marrage! 10 years in this house with NO GLUE under the subfloor. You'd think my house was 100 years old...I really appreciate this. MIGHTY thumbs up. :)

[@WordofAdviceTV]

I'm happy to hear that this video helped bring peace to the home! :) Great timing with Christmas coming up and all ;) Thank you for leaving a nice comment! Merry upcoming Christmas!

[@scotts.3193]

Very helpful. One thing to note though, you're supposed to stand over the spot where you're screwing into the joist to ensure maximum bite and contact between the subfloor and joist.

[@ednad8971]

I just got this kit and watched multiple videos. This is so far the best video and easier to follow, especially the helpful hint was finding the joist on either sides of the vents. Thank you.

[@goldbugnwgpa774]

A comment from another installer was to stand with your feet right next to your tripod. This pushes the sub floor down tighter while installing the screw. Great job presenting the domo.

Thank you very much! :) I'm glad to hear that!

I young man like you, “saying my wife”already, let us know that you are a serious man. Nice job 👍

[@khalidwadif9320]

I love this guy. This is the best how to video for squeak no more kit. Thank you

[@emanresu9mm]

I'm headed to Home Depot this weekend to get this kit! We have a couple horribly squeaky spots!

[@josepheilefson6737]

This guy is cool. Great spirit and explains the problem well. Thank you.

[@windsurfed1]

Very Informative. Thanks for making this video. I always wondered how to fix a squeek on carpeted floors.

[@Daniel-oh7wy]

Thanks for the extremely detailed video! I’m on my way to do this and your video was extremely helpful. I can’t wait till my wife walks on a squeaky free floor 😊

[@caffed]

Thanks a lot for the video! I was leery on trying this at first. I didn’t realize the vents could be used as a landmark. Definitely going to give it a try with that kit!

[@classic287]

I’ve never seen anything like that before. I’ve used drywall screws before, but then put new flooring down. What you used, is great 👍 Thanks 🙏😊

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Yeah! :) I had no clue either so I was pretty excited when I found out I can fix the squeaks so easily. Glad you liked it, thanks for regularly watching and commenting Mr. Classic!

[@classic287]

Word of Advice TV, Wouldn’t miss them for the world. Glass coffins! Will they become popular? Remains to be seen....

[@WordofAdviceTV]

@@classic287 Hahaha that's a good ending bit :) Thank you!

[@theloneviking9145]

Try to get out of the habit of using drywall screws for repairs. They’re very brittle and snap easily. Use construction screws. You’ll be thankful in the long run.

[@mikezimmerman2786]

I used this product many years ago. it works if you properly locate the floor joists. I think it's a good value to eliminate those squeaks.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you for the product review Mike! :)

[@robertoromero2052]

Good job, good explanation, easy to understand, thanks.

[@berthapena617]

Great video for small investment on home repair . I learn from the best and pass it on,

[@kkovler1]

I didn't know such a tool kit existed! But I never had a problem with squeaky floors. Anyway it was an interesting video.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

I didn't know it existed either, until I decided to fix the squeaky floor that is. Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@evemiranda3474]

Awesome I needed this! Thank you for sharing.

[@jaimegonzalez6926]

Cool video that tool looks like can save you a lot of carpet work so yeah I'll see if I can find me one and fix my floor as well thanks for sharing 👍

[@WordofAdviceTV]

You're welcome! Let us know how it went when it's all done :)

NIce job!! thanks...Now, I need to find a video on wood floors and tile floors? ☺

[@petemoss9693]

Great tool - going to find one to do my floors - thank's for sharing this video -

[@WordofAdviceTV]

You're welcome! It worked well for me. I think most hardware stores sell that kit or something similar.

[@special_k-hvac]

Home depot in the flooring department on a hanger is where ive always seen them

[@MaMa-qh4dy]

Thanks for mixing it up at times with different topics. Good idea!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

No problem! Glad you like the non-HVAC videos as well! The video was actually not planned, I was taking care of my squeak problem and when I saw how well that thing worked decided to share it with all of you :)

[@beardedyette]

"But if we look at the very next joist, right next to it ... Not this one. Lets go down one more." LOL! Seriously though, thanks. We have a 50 year old floor that's unbelievably annoying. I was excited to find this.

[@GoogleUser-xr2hr]

A couple wood shims hammered between the floor joists and flooring with Liquid Nail, done.

[@TomGlander]

Unless the ceiling below if finished and you can't get to the joists.

[@GoogleUser-xr2hr]

@@TomGlander yours wasn't, thus is why I recommended my fix

[@WordofAdviceTV]

@Google User Thank you for the simple solution! Sounds like it would work well! It would be nice to do it all that way but quite a few of my squeaky spots are above the supply trunk coming from the furnace. Unless I take apart the ductwork, there's no easy way to get to the creaky spots.

[@sherripolite9550]

Awesome Video! very informative...thank you

[@dadesifilms6978]

I ordered the tool kit from the link of amazon provided in description, let me try and get back to you in comment section

[@Eddy63]

More great "Advice " Mr Word ... I guess the carpenter that laid the flooring needed to set the sights on his nail gun ... Lol ... I've used that screw deal before and it worked great ... Good vid Jay ...

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Glad to hear someone else has tried this thing before and was satisfied with the results! Thanks for watching and commenting Eddy!

[@MRrwmac]

It works and works great (once you find the first floor joist - haha)! Been using one for over 15 years and sooo glad I got one! They work exactly as you demonstrated. Wish you would have shown your views how it works on hardwood and linoleum. They can go to the website and see!

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thank you for verifying that it works! I didn't even think to show an example on linoleum since I don't have any squeaks in the kitchen. I should have but oh well.. Like you said, there are other videos out there.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Thanks for watching! This was the best and easiest method I could find. If you have used this thing before please let us know how it went for you! Or if you have even better solutions I would love to hear them!

[@ericsonburgos3661]

Do you think this will work with berber carpets? By the way nice video and great explanation. I've been watching your videos on HVAC. Thank you.

[@spikeyboy]

Awesome vid but would love to see it done on hardwood floor

[@ScuteriB]

Great to the video! Thank you!

Or any other suggestions will help ,oh its wood floor with carpet thanks inadvance for your reply

You just have to make sure your character has a luck attribute of at least 8 and you should be fine.

[@margaretsmigiel7091]

@@drewc5576 Thanks for the laughs Drew! That's what I thought too!! I think I'll attempt this a safer way.

[@drewc5576]

I’m glad I gave you a chuckle. I actually bought one of these things (it works absolutely fantastically) and I’ve found that using a large neodymium magnet I can find the nails in the stud through the carpet pretty well so I don’t have to use the included stud finder screw.

[@Rezolution01]

Ordered, thanks.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Haha I hope it works as well for you as it did for me! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@deborahallen8933]

I used this method and it worked pretty well. However, three of the screws broke off a little high and poke through the carpet. How do I either cut the screws off or push them further in the floor. I do have carpet.

[@corarose7363]

Do I have to worry about hitting any wiring?

[@miguelsgarage5659]

Where can i get more of those screws? Do they sell them at Home Depot or lowes?

[@skymaster547]

I liked the video, but what would be the best way for hardwood floors? The device would leave visible holes in the planks.

[@WordofAdviceTV]

The instructions in the kit say that the holes that are left in hardwood are pretty small and can be concealed with some putty or filler. Like this stuff for example: amzn.to/2plQOgf

[@randyting]

If you muss the joist will it still work?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

If you miss the joist it will not work.

[@darrellfrazier8968]

What is that tool called and the name of those special nails

[@limeallens6160]

This is why you always glue when it comes to flooring. I use liquid nails

[@skilledevolutionllc.4089]

I have a question ... can you recommend where i can get some DVD's or school to ger my certificate for hvac ? Really im interested to get one and start study this technical carrier ... i live in Kansas city do you know any places i can go to learn??

[@heatncool]

Start with epa 608 test. You can get it at mainstream engineering site. Youl need to study for it. I'd say for a month. Then find a Proctor to take the test. Very do able for a beginner. This will get you in the door to get hired by hvac company as maintenance tech. No school required, were on high demand. Youl climb this way. I've had dozens of co workers in 3 states climb this way without school. Besides a man really learns to swim not on land but in water !

[@chazrich4990]

Jay, I've heard that this can unravel certain types of carpets when you screw through the carpet...is this true? What type of carpet do you have? Would love to do something like this at my house but I would hate to ruin the carpet! Thanks

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Sorry Chaz, I don't know the answer to that. Although they claim that it works on any carpet. If you are worried, I would try it in a corner of a closet first to see if it unravels it or not

[@alicehopper1648]

@@WordofAdviceTV I just read you should use common household transparent tape wrapped around the screw threads up to the screw score. Don't use an untapped screw on in BERBER carpet!

What is the name of the kit I’ll need?

[@aljohnson2439]

Tks. 👍

[@dersodesie9735]

My floor is doesn't has carpet; is that work for me you think?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

Yes, it will work on vinyl and hardwood floor as well. Refer to the product description for more info.

[@patrickdeville4231]

What if the screw won't go all the way in and the top is stripped?

[@laurakatariinayoga6967]

I measured according to the instructions and watched this video before drilling anything in. After 10 screws into my “joist” marks, the squeaking still did not stop, 4-6 more directly into the squeaks (thinking I miscalculated the joist positions) and still no relief 😓 what am I doing wrong? Is it possible this is a different problem? It’s driving me nuts.

[@larryroyal1164]

Does this work with Berber carpet

[@John-mh6mi]

Where do you get the kit?

[@WordofAdviceTV]

I got mine on Amazon (link in description) but I believe they should be in most local hardware stores as well, in the flooring aisles.
