My moterhome floor squeeks.
How to fix a spongy floor in a motorhome rv or caravan using a non expanding glue.
To fix squeaky staircases access the back through a closet and tap the shims into the joints between treads and risers.
Generally the squeaks will be located along the steel frame of the home.
Works great for home or rv.
And that is exactly where i needed to investigate.
I did need to make a relief cut to pull the material down from under the waste tank plumbing.
You smooth the carpet pile out of the way and then screw into the floor into a joist.
Then screw a mounting plate into the underside of the subfloor and attach it to the joist with a rod.
As soon as you turn your heater on you re removing even more of that precious moisture from the air.
Then the screw head breaks of and voila no more squeak.
If you can t access the back tap very thin shims between squeaking parts.
Step 2 identify the squeaks underneath the mobile home.
Shine your light up to the origin of the squeak and you should see the metal frame with lag bolts going up through it every 12 or so.
Above that a durable black film covers the insulation under the floor near the area of our squeak.
Once you find it weigh down the floor from above with heavy furniture or books to keep it compressed.
These noises are a frustrating problem that some home owners are sensitive to and others are not.
Once you are ready ask a helper or friend to walk along the marked areas on the floor.
They are hard to repair because they move around with changes in temperature and humidity.
And sometimes begin to hear a squeaky wood floor in our homes.
A socket adapter and portable drill made quick work of removing the coroplast to expose my work area.
They can sometimes be fixed at least for a while by crawling under the home with a wrench and tightening the lag bolts that hold the house.
With your ratchet start to tighten the bolt that is closest to the squeak as your helper makes it squeak only tighten till the squeak stops do not strip the bolt.
I show you how to repair a squeaky floor using a special kit.
If you have carpeting there i saw a product on one of the home shows that is a screw with a breakoff head.
