Crunching Sound Walking On New Tile Floor

Do your floors sound hollow when installed.

Crunching sound walking on new tile floor.

Not if the subfloor is properly prepped. My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking. It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout. Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting.

I looked but saw no crack in the grout around the tiled area. About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles. So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what. 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.

Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on. The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket. There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up. We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago.

I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago. 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. There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath. Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away.

I have owned it since 2012. Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. 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. There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it.

My house was built in 1956. Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound. Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor. A hollow sound when walking on floors is much more common with laminate flooring than it is with vinyl flooring.

Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound. Floors that make a popping sound. Pulling them up is not an option. 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.

I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy. There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on.
