Squeaky floors can be seriously annoying—especially when they wake up a toddler as mom or dad tries to sneakily escape their room after bedtime. The cause is simply the home’s process of expansion and contraction. When a homeowner experienced this in his older home, he called general contractor Tom Silva for help.
