My Dad's kitchen floor squeaks. It's between the joists and sub-floor.
What's a good "quick" fix?
It's linoleum so I only have access from the basement.
Hey Boomer , Sounds like you may have a few nails/screws that have loosened up when the sub floor was attached .
If possible , the quickest way I know is to try what one poster already stated and try to force ( using a chaulking gun) some Construction floor adhesive along each side of the joist nearest the squeek . If to have room you "might" be able to install a very thin shim in the gap too, if there is one .
I have also worked on squeeks that were caused by open voids in the plywood subfloor and they can be a pain to repair . It requires using a "gauged stop for depth" drill bit to reach the void , then force glue under pressure into the void . The trick is to not go too deep and pierced the finish floor .
