My daughter has just moved into a house that has a squeaky kitchen
floor. There is literally a "crawl space" under the house making it
very difficult to climb around. She has a linoleum covered floor.
Being a complete novice, but still wanting to look like the hero to my
little girl, how can I go about getting rid of these creaks? Thanks.


1) Who OWNS the house? If she's renting, you should leave it
alone.

2) Floor squeaks are a pain in the ass. There is no thing that
is guaranteed to work.

3) Don't count on the floor being more than 21/32" thick

Things that might help include blocking between joists,
an extra support mid-jost supported by posts, glue injected
between the joists and the subfloor, followed by weights in
the kitchen, and screws. Nails probably won't help.
