Review on GBW Squeak No More 3233 Kit: Ultimate Solution to Eliminate Carpet Floor Squeaks by Donald Larson

When I was looking for solutions to a couple of squeaky spots in two bedrooms I was delighted that such a thing even existed. I watched a few YouTube videos on how it works and decided to give it a try. I couldn't fix the creaking in one of the bedrooms (the problem is at the top of the small staircase leading to the bedroom and the staircase is a unique problem as the creaking isn't necessarily due to a floor to floor gap). . farms). However, I managed to eliminate the creaking in another bedroom. The tricky part of this process is finding the farm without pulling up the carpet. I used the truss finder tool included in the kit and didn't notice much of a difference when drilling to find the truss. I also couldn't find any trusses with the cleat finder (mine just doesn't work through carpet). Instead, I went into the room below the bedroom and found the trusses in the ceiling of that room (which are obviously trusses under the carpet in the bedroom above) and measured their position from the common wall shared by both rooms. The problem was that my trusses are 20" apart rather than the more typical 16" even though I have a new home. Once I knew the dimensions of the wall, I tapped the truss every 20 inches and fought the squeaks. Note that I was working in a relatively safe part of the space where I was pretty sure there weren't any plumbing, electricity, or HVAC under the floor (just thinking about the floor plan of the house, there's no reason assuming that is the case). in this area I've been working on). If you are unsure I would very carefully drill a test hole. , as you may come across something that gives you a much bigger problem than the squeak you are trying to fix!
