OK. So I'm really having trouble finding an independent inspector near Orlando. (The nearest I've found is 2 hours away.) I've looked on the nalfa and nicfi sites. Any other ideas?
You guys have convinced me that I really need to hire an independent inspector to get to the bottom of this. Can you give me a vague idea of how much I can expect to pay for such an inspection?
Thanks again for all your idea.
Actually, Mohawk did send out an inspector who denied my claim saying that I turned off the air conditioner for long periods of time which caused humidity and temperature problems. Which, in turn, caused floor problems. This was all FALSE. I told him that I was out of town for 48 hours during...
CSI is exactly what I need!
To me it doesn't sound like bubble gum under your shoe. And it happens over a majority of the floor (about 2500 sq ft). It doesn't seem to sound any different when my husband or I walk over it (different weights). I don't "see" any movement or flexing of the floor...

My flooring guy said he's never had problems with Uniclic either. I hate to be the first!!!
I saw the expansion space around the edges of the room, but didn't actually witness what they did at door casings. If they did use too much glue at a transition, would it make the floor pop and...
Well, if those are my options I'm going with valleys since there has been no corduroy in my life since high school and I am not a golfer :)
How would glue residue effect the floor if there is a plastic moisture barrier and a pad between the concrete and flooring? I'm not sure I can picture...
Yes, the noises are only when we walk on it :)
I think you are right about movement. But I don't think it could be the click mechanism since this is the third floor (second brand) to do the same thing. I don't mind paying for more floor prep IF I knew whether it is the moisture or the leveling...
We actually picked Mohawk because of their good reviews.
We already had a Mohawk rep come out and inspect and they grudgingly gave us the money to replace the floor. But I think their assumption was that we had received a bad batch with faulty locking mechanism. This seems unlikely at this...
We bought a house 18 months ago and had a Mohawk Barrington laminate put down throughout. Within a few months the floor began to make a popping, clicking noise everywhere. Very noticeable and obnoxious. The flooring store was very helpful and came out and put a new floor down in one of the...
