Good day dear community,
I am reaching out to you with a question because surely some of you have had the same experiences and are familiar with the topic. In our house, which we bought a year ago, we have the problem that the floor on the upper floor flexes and creaks extremely even with normal steps.
Briefly about the substructure:
It has a wooden beam ceiling with infill. OSB boards are laid on top of that. When we renovated, these vibrations did not stand out (or we did not notice them because we really had a very tight schedule and everything had to happen as quickly as possible).
Anyway, we laid impact sound insulation on the OSB boards and laminate on top of that. What could it be due to?
Do you think there is something wrong with the house’s statics? Or is it possible to get rid of the flexing by going in and really tearing everything out again including the OSB boards and possibly doubling the beam layer and building a Fermacell construction on top of it?
To explain the topic a little closer, when my daughter stomps in her room, our nightstand and wardrobe in our room shake — that can’t be normal....
I look forward to your answers and thank you in advance.
I wish you a nice Sunday.
PS: If I should now commission a craftsman to take a look at this: who would be the right one here? A carpenter, a joiner, or rather a floor fitter?
Many kind regards
