Ceramic floor tiles making a popping and cracking sound.
Crunching sound walking on new tile floor.
I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago.
We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago.
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.
The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket.
A hollow sound when walking on floors is much more common with laminate flooring than it is with vinyl flooring.
Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away.
There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on.
So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what.
Pulling them up is not an option.
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.
There is a almost unnoticeable bulge where one of the tile comes up.
There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it.
I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy.
Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting.
Floors that make a popping sound.
It is the original tile with no signs of repair or cracks in the tile or grout.
Is there anything else that can be done to quiet the floor.
About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles.
Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on.
On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound.
My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking.
If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things.
Do your floors sound hollow when installed.
I have owned it since 2012.
There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath.
Not if the subfloor is properly prepped.
Our floor tiles have started making a crunching sound.
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.
Sometimes you might walk across your floors and hear a popping or creaking noise.
