How do you fix a squeeky hardwood floor?



Answers:
the best way to do this is if you have a basement and you can access the floor joists. if you can have someone walk around up stairs so you can find the squeak down stairs. once you find the squeak drive a shim between the sub-floor and joist until the squeak stops.(DON'T DRIVE IT IN TO FAR OR YOU WILL PUT A HUMP IN THE FLOOR) not to hard just time consuming if ya have a lot of squeaks.
