Crunching Sound Walking On New Tile Floor

Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound.

Crunching sound walking on new tile floor.

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. 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. About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles. Not if the subfloor is properly prepped.

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. Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound. Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. 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.

There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath. Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor. It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout. There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on.

My house was built in 1956. There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it. If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things. Floors that make a popping sound.

Do your floors sound hollow when installed. So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what. Pulling them up is not an option. The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket.

Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on. My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking. I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy. I looked but saw no crack in the grout around the tiled area.

Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away. On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there. There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up.

I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago. Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting.
