How to sneak out with squeaky wood floors.

The simple sound of the shoe hitting the floor can make enough noise to wake someone up. Next take a thin wood shim and coat it with carpenter s glue. Wear socks as they are the quietest option for walking on hardwood floors. Put a shim into the gap nail a piece of wood along a warped joist put wood blocks between noisy joists.

When walking downstairs try skipping stairs and walking on the sidelines. Silencing squeaky floors is much easier if you have access to the space beneath the floor via a basement or crawl space. Go below the room with the squeaky floor and have someone slowly walk back. If you have creaky stairs memorize the areas that are safe to step on usually closer to the walls or draw a map of the un creaky places and the creaky ones.

Don t drive it in too far because you will raise the flooring. If you have wooden floors stay close to the walls. They are even quieter than bare feet. When you hear a squeak have the person above rap on the floor so you can pinpoint the exact spot.
