Crunching Sound Walking On New Tile Floor

Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away.

Crunching sound walking on new tile floor.

Do your floors sound hollow when installed. I looked but saw no crack in the grout around the tiled area. It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout. Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on.

There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up. Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound. About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles. My house was built in 1956.

The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket. On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound. 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. Floors that make a popping sound.

We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago. A hollow sound when walking on floors is much more common with laminate flooring than it is with vinyl flooring. My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking. There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath.

I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy. Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. Pulling them up is not an option. 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.

So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what. If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things. Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there.

There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on. I have owned it since 2012. I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago. Not if the subfloor is properly prepped.

Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor. Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound.
