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) 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

Floor had settled some in past year so I'm guessing rolling a 27lb. weight all over it didn't help.
By the way daughter 10. Sorry no pics. And hoverboard hasn't blown up yet.

I'm telling you, just leave it plugged in and you'll be getting new floors in no time.

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

Thanks, thought that might be causing it too.

Your daughter and the hover board are doing no more damage to a subfloor beneath 3/4" of hardwood or old growth heart pine than any adult family member by simply walking.

Damn. I didn't realize they were that bulky.

Actually, if you consider the weight of his daughter and the small surface area of the tires...there is A LOT more than just 27 lbs. pushing down on the floor as she rolls over them.

I see what your saying but when she rides it the floor sounds like its cracking or maybe separating. This doesn't happen when I walk around on it. Could be the starting and stopping. Or the fact that all the weight is being pushed down on the wheels.

How beefy is this alleged daughter?
Posted on 1/22/16 at 4:59 pm to chryso
65-70 lbs.

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.
