Hello
I'm hopeing somebody can give me some advice - around a year and half ago I had my kitchen floor tiled. There is a wooden subfloor underneath which is made of thick ply, plenty of brackets and noggins between the beams and ditra.
Today I've just noticed that the area closest to the exterior wall creaks very loudly even when lightly walking. If I gently bounce it also squeaks. I've noticed it happens when I walk the length of the floor and the beams also go this way. It's a good 3-4metres of where the creaking occurs.
Fortunately I can't see any cracks in the tiles and the floor doesn't feel bouncy.
Any idea what it could be and if it's likely to progress into damage?
Perhaps the change in weather has had an impact to the joists?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
