Crunching Sound Walking On New Tile Floor

It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout.

Crunching sound walking on new tile floor.

I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago. 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. Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise. My house was built in 1956.

If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things. 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. Do your floors sound hollow when installed.

Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound. There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on. Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on. Floors that make a popping sound.

The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket. Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound. 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 have owned it since 2012.

We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there. Pulling them up is not an option. So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what.

Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting. 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. 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.

There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up. On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound. There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath. There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it.

Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor. 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.
