Q: We had a laminate floor professionally installed about a year ago. Now it makes cracking sounds when walked upon. any idea what causes this? It started in a few spots, but now has spread throughout the floor.
A: In situations like this, I could only guess. At this point I don’t even know anything about the laminate you have. Who is the manufacturer? Is it click joint? I would suggest you contact the manufacturer. Problems of this nature generally are related to climate conditions in the home.
