Have real hard wood floors in older home up on piers. Let my daughter ride her hoverboard in the house all over. Hoverboard weighs about 27 lbs. i coukd hear it crushing down when she rode it around but did not make any marks. Now the floors are extremely squicky.
1. Any suggestions of what has happened? And is their anything to do?

1) Wait for the hover board to spontaneously combust.

2) File homeowner's insurance claim

3) ????

4) Profit

You need to check your sub-floor. Get up under the house and look for cracks in the sub-flooring

It's cold, your floor is retracting... More movement in the floor boards.. Wait till spring and summer..

If nailed from the top get a punch and give each nail a couple of taps. If side nailed get a hard wood floor guy.

90% of the hard wood floors I see in NOLA don't have a sub floor

Wooden floors contract in the winter, expand in the summer. Older homes usually don't have underlayment under them, subflooring wasn't as sturdy/nor glued, so they're loud. You can usually help the most troubled spots by shimming between the subloor and joists.

almost certain your daughter riding a hoverboard didn't cause any extra squeaks. Any extra movement/noise can be attributed to the changing weather. Though I wouldn't let her ride it on floors due to marking it up. I know you said it didn't but give it time and marks will start showing up.
