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.

There is an area about 15x15 inches that makes a crackling noise when you step on it. We have no spares and only had them laid 18 months ago. I have owned it since 2012. There is ceramic tile on the floor in the second floor bath.

Floors that make a popping sound. 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. 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.

Bathroom floor tiles grout between tiles cracked and chunks sinking tiles lifting. Do your floors sound hollow when installed. My kitchen floor which is a concrete sub floor with ceramic tiles fitted on top has started making loud popping and cracking. There are no squeaks just an occasional pop creak that does not repeat after walked on.

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

So it is hard to say if a crunching sound is a squeaking sound or what. 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. Not if the subfloor is properly prepped. On closer inspection i can see that the tiles are moving very slightly against the grout which is causing the sound.

Recently i noticed that a few of the floor tiles in the kitchen make a crunching sound when walked on. About 2 months ago i noticed a crackling sound when i walked on one of the tiles 14 tiles. Just so happens about a week ago the crackling sound went away. I had a new bathroom completed just over a year ago.

I looked but saw no crack in the grout around the tiled area. The main reason a floor sounds hollow is when the plank bridges a valley or dip in the subfloor thus creating an air pocket. If the floor has too much deflection that grout can crack among other things. I had a tile floor in my kitchen installed about 5 years ago by a very professional guy.

Pulling them up is not an option. While this doesn t mean your floors are defective there.
