Hey Guys,
Been awhile and floor is still popping. Had a NWFA certified inspector out to look at the floor and help determine the cause. Didn't really find any smoking gun but the inspector did point out the floor had a pretty bad crown to it. All humidity and moisture readings were correct and have been so for several months now. Looks like the floor may have cupped after install and before finishing. Would that have pulled the staples loose and once the floor equalized cause the popping sound? If so is screwing from the bottom the best option to fix? There are about 25-30 areas that pop on a regular basis on lower humidity days.
I could probably deal with the crowned look but sound has to go!!
Thanks,
Jct
