    Desperate for Laminate Advice

    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?

    Desperate for Laminate Advice

    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.

    Here is a video showing the sounds our floor makes. It is like this mostly all over. Laminate Floor Noise

    Desperate for Laminate Advice

    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...

    Desperate for Laminate Advice

    . 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...

    Sanford, FL 32771 If no one on the site lives near me, how would I go about finding an Independent Inspector?

    Desperate for Laminate Advice

    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...

    Desperate for Laminate Advice

    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...
