Are my creaking floors a problem? 2026/02/21 09:50 Karma: 0  
I own a rancher house that is nearly 40 years old. Over the last month I've noticed creaking in the floors, in the hardwood bedroom/living room floors and most noticeably in the kitchen beneath the tiled floor. Once it has been walked over (and got the creaking out), then it's fine and you don't hear any creaking while you're walking around. If I return hours later, the same thing will occur.

I have checked in the crawl space beneath the house for any water issues and notice none. A plumber didn't find any under-the-house problems either when he replaced a bathroom 2 weeks ago and replaced insulation in the crawl space. I had him check because there was a slight bump in the walkway between my kitchen and dining room floors. The pipes beneath the kitchen sink leaked years ago and were fixed, but aside from that, no other water damage issues can I recall in these parts of the house. It is currently winter (20's-40's degrees Fahrenheit) where I am. And the creaking does seem worse when it is colder than during the warmer spells in the 60's.

Could the issue be related to temperatures or moisture or settling? Any idea what is causing the creaking? Is it a problem? Any information or opinions would be great!
