going to show you how to fix this so

going to show you how to fix this so most of this noise is going to be coming

most of this noise is going to be coming

most of this noise is going to be coming from where the actual stair meets the

from where the actual stair meets the

from where the actual stair meets the risers at the very back part here so

risers at the very back part here so

risers at the very back part here so this seam will be the number one area

this seam will be the number one area

this seam will be the number one area that is going to squeak over time

that is going to squeak over time

that is going to squeak over time because you're putting weight on it this

because you're putting weight on it this

because you're putting weight on it this wood is going to expand and contract

wood is going to expand and contract

wood is going to expand and contract also too much in different seasons and

also too much in different seasons and

also too much in different seasons and different times so chances are that this

different times so chances are that this

different times so chances are that this part at the very back part of the stairs

part at the very back part of the stairs

part at the very back part of the stairs is not attached properly so every time

is not attached properly so every time

is not attached properly so every time you walk on it you also introduce some

you walk on it you also introduce some

you walk on it you also introduce some weight to it so it blows up over time a

weight to it so it blows up over time a

weight to it so it blows up over time a little bit and every little bit of

little bit and every little bit of

little bit and every little bit of weight that you put on this it's going

weight that you put on this it's going

weight that you put on this it's going to kind of push it up and down a little

to kind of push it up and down a little

to kind of push it up and down a little bit and that squeak noise will be mostly

bit and that squeak noise will be mostly

bit and that squeak noise will be mostly coming from these two areas and also

coming from these two areas and also

coming from these two areas and also another common area that you're going to

another common area that you're going to

another common area that you're going to get a squeak noise is from these edges

get a squeak noise is from these edges

get a squeak noise is from these edges basically where the actual stair meets

basically where the actual stair meets

basically where the actual stair meets the sidewall or the side part of the

the sidewall or the side part of the

the sidewall or the side part of the strainers so these are normal you're

strainers so these are normal you're

strainers so these are normal you're going to have these noises you have to

going to have these noises you have to

going to have these noises you have to expect this from the stairs when they

expect this from the stairs when they

expect this from the stairs when they get old this house is not that old but

get old this house is not that old but

get old this house is not that old but the Builder didn't do a good job

the Builder didn't do a good job

the Builder didn't do a good job building these stairs so for that reason

building these stairs so for that reason

building these stairs so for that reason I have to fix this on my own and I show

I have to fix this on my own and I show

I have to fix this on my own and I show you how exactly to do this

you how exactly to do this

you how exactly to do this this is the bottom part of the stairs on

this is the bottom part of the stairs on

this is the bottom part of the stairs on the very top part it's located in my

the very top part it's located in my

the very top part it's located in my garage there's a stair set that goes

garage there's a stair set that goes

garage there's a stair set that goes right to my basement and it's located

right to my basement and it's located

right to my basement and it's located right above here and as you can see it

right above here and as you can see it

right above here and as you can see it here I have some finished drywall over

here I have some finished drywall over

here I have some finished drywall over there so in order to do this job I would

there so in order to do this job I would

there so in order to do this job I would actually remove the drywall from this

actually remove the drywall from this

actually remove the drywall from this area so I can work on the bottom part of

area so I can work on the bottom part of

area so I can work on the bottom part of the stairs but right now the weather is

the stairs but right now the weather is

the stairs but right now the weather is extremely cold on the outside I'm doing

extremely cold on the outside I'm doing

extremely cold on the outside I'm doing this in winter time so if I remove this

this in winter time so if I remove this

this in winter time so if I remove this and apply my uh adhesive there first of

and apply my uh adhesive there first of

and apply my uh adhesive there first of all it's not going to cure right away

all it's not going to cure right away

all it's not going to cure right away it's going to take a lot longer to cure

it's going to take a lot longer to cure

it's going to take a lot longer to cure and second if I want to put that drywall

and second if I want to put that drywall

and second if I want to put that drywall back up and fix it it's going to take

back up and fix it it's going to take

back up and fix it it's going to take forever because I'm doing this in winter

forever because I'm doing this in winter

forever because I'm doing this in winter time it's going to freeze up I don't

time it's going to freeze up I don't

time it's going to freeze up I don't want my mud to freeze so I'm not going

want my mud to freeze so I'm not going

want my mud to freeze so I'm not going to remove it from this part I'm going to

to remove it from this part I'm going to

to remove it from this part I'm going to do this at some other time that pretty

do this at some other time that pretty

do this at some other time that pretty much I have the time in the springtime

much I have the time in the springtime

much I have the time in the springtime or maybe summertime but in my basement

or maybe summertime but in my basement

or maybe summertime but in my basement area I can't do it because that part of

area I can't do it because that part of

area I can't do it because that part of the house is heated so I'm going to

the house is heated so I'm going to

the house is heated so I'm going to remove the drywall from the bottom part

remove the drywall from the bottom part

remove the drywall from the bottom part of the basement so you can see how

of the basement so you can see how

of the basement so you can see how exactly it looks like

exactly it looks like

exactly it looks like I just removed the drywall from the

I just removed the drywall from the

I just removed the drywall from the bottom part of these uh stairs here I'm

bottom part of these uh stairs here I'm

bottom part of these uh stairs here I'm actually finishing the basement here so

actually finishing the basement here so

actually finishing the basement here so as a part of this project I had to

as a part of this project I had to

as a part of this project I had to remove these drywall anyway because I'm

remove these drywall anyway because I'm

remove these drywall anyway because I'm doing a lot of electrical and other

doing a lot of electrical and other

doing a lot of electrical and other stuff

stuff

stuff so as of right now if I go closer you

so as of right now if I go closer you

so as of right now if I go closer you can see that they use the screws for the

can see that they use the screws for the

can see that they use the screws for the actual uh risers and the steps and they

actual uh risers and the steps and they

actual uh risers and the steps and they use the right type of screws

use the right type of screws

use the right type of screws I'm pretty glad that they used the right

I'm pretty glad that they used the right

I'm pretty glad that they used the right type of screws for this project here and

type of screws for this project here and

type of screws for this project here and in case your stairs don't have these

in case your stairs don't have these

in case your stairs don't have these screws make sure to get them and apply

screws make sure to get them and apply

screws make sure to get them and apply it right here where the risers meet the

it right here where the risers meet the

it right here where the risers meet the actual step and make sure to put it at a

actual step and make sure to put it at a

actual step and make sure to put it at a space that it doesn't come out of the

space that it doesn't come out of the

space that it doesn't come out of the finished area 80 or 90 percent of the

finished area 80 or 90 percent of the

finished area 80 or 90 percent of the stairs normally have about three quarter

stairs normally have about three quarter

stairs normally have about three quarter of an inch to one inch thickness so you

of an inch to one inch thickness so you

of an inch to one inch thickness so you got to be careful where to put this so

got to be careful where to put this so

got to be careful where to put this so it doesn't come out on the other side

it doesn't come out on the other side

it doesn't come out on the other side it's a good idea to drill it first and

it's a good idea to drill it first and

it's a good idea to drill it first and then put these screws in so this is a

then put these screws in so this is a

then put these screws in so this is a good thing they already put these screws

good thing they already put these screws

good thing they already put these screws so also if you want to make it extremely

so also if you want to make it extremely

so also if you want to make it extremely strong you can use some kind of an L

strong you can use some kind of an L

strong you can use some kind of an L bracket I would suggest use some longer

bracket I would suggest use some longer

bracket I would suggest use some longer types and you can put it in this area

types and you can put it in this area

types and you can put it in this area and put one or two screws on the top and

and put one or two screws on the top and

and put one or two screws on the top and one or two screws on the bottom part and

one or two screws on the bottom part and

one or two screws on the bottom part and you can use that in many spots in the

you can use that in many spots in the

you can use that in many spots in the stairs that way it's going to be

stairs that way it's going to be

stairs that way it's going to be extremely sturdy and nice just keep in

extremely sturdy and nice just keep in

extremely sturdy and nice just keep in mind to use the right size screws so it

mind to use the right size screws so it

mind to use the right size screws so it doesn't come out of the face of the

doesn't come out of the face of the

doesn't come out of the face of the stairs when it's done

stairs when it's done

stairs when it's done so another thing that I wanted to

so another thing that I wanted to

so another thing that I wanted to suggest you guys was to put blocks of

suggest you guys was to put blocks of

suggest you guys was to put blocks of wood where exactly the front nosing part

wood where exactly the front nosing part

wood where exactly the front nosing part of this there is and as you can see it

of this there is and as you can see it

of this there is and as you can see it here luckily the Builder did this

here luckily the Builder did this

here luckily the Builder did this already they put some nice pieces of

already they put some nice pieces of

already they put some nice pieces of wood and it's glued down I can see it in

wood and it's glued down I can see it in

wood and it's glued down I can see it in some areas that the glue is squeezing

some areas that the glue is squeezing

some areas that the glue is squeezing out so this is exactly what we want it

out so this is exactly what we want it

out so this is exactly what we want it if yours doesn't have this you can cut

if yours doesn't have this you can cut

if yours doesn't have this you can cut yourself a piece of 2x4 long enough this

yourself a piece of 2x4 long enough this

yourself a piece of 2x4 long enough this way and pretty much glue it down and put

way and pretty much glue it down and put

way and pretty much glue it down and put it in that area the step number one is

it in that area the step number one is

it in that area the step number one is to cut a piece of wood at 45 degrees to

to cut a piece of wood at 45 degrees to

to cut a piece of wood at 45 degrees to the length that you need then we're

the length that you need then we're

the length that you need then we're going to apply some construction

going to apply some construction

going to apply some construction adhesive to both sides of it and then

adhesive to both sides of it and then

adhesive to both sides of it and then we're gonna push it right in place we

we're gonna push it right in place we

we're gonna push it right in place we have to use a generous amount of glue or

have to use a generous amount of glue or

have to use a generous amount of glue or construction adhesive then we're going

construction adhesive then we're going

construction adhesive then we're going to put this block of wood in the corner

to put this block of wood in the corner

to put this block of wood in the corner and push it pretty hard until we see

and push it pretty hard until we see

and push it pretty hard until we see that the glue is start to squeeze out

that the glue is start to squeeze out

that the glue is start to squeeze out from both sides then we can ask somebody

from both sides then we can ask somebody

from both sides then we can ask somebody to stand on the thread above it or we

to stand on the thread above it or we

to stand on the thread above it or we can add some weight to it this way it's

can add some weight to it this way it's

can add some weight to it this way it's pretty much pushed down and then from

pretty much pushed down and then from

pretty much pushed down and then from the bottom part we can put the screws in

the bottom part we can put the screws in

the bottom part we can put the screws in it you just have to be careful to put

it you just have to be careful to put

it you just have to be careful to put the right length of the screws in this

the right length of the screws in this

the right length of the screws in this so it doesn't come out of the face of

so it doesn't come out of the face of

so it doesn't come out of the face of the actual stairs and the risers

the actual stairs and the risers

the actual stairs and the risers if you have a house staircase style

if you have a house staircase style

if you have a house staircase style you're going to have wedges on the

you're going to have wedges on the

you're going to have wedges on the bottom part of your stairs basically

bottom part of your stairs basically

bottom part of your stairs basically these wedges are keeping everything

these wedges are keeping everything

these wedges are keeping everything together and if they haven't been glued

together and if they haven't been glued

together and if they haven't been glued or nailed properly chances are that they

or nailed properly chances are that they

or nailed properly chances are that they moved a little bit on you and that could

moved a little bit on you and that could

moved a little bit on you and that could be another cause of having a squeaking

be another cause of having a squeaking

be another cause of having a squeaking noise in the stairs I suggest you guys

noise in the stairs I suggest you guys

noise in the stairs I suggest you guys to check all these widgets and make sure

to check all these widgets and make sure

to check all these widgets and make sure that they're glued and sitting at the

that they're glued and sitting at the

that they're glued and sitting at the right place if one of them moved by any

right place if one of them moved by any

right place if one of them moved by any chance and they're not glued or nailed

chance and they're not glued or nailed

chance and they're not glued or nailed in place properly it's a good idea to

in place properly it's a good idea to

in place properly it's a good idea to grab a chisel and a mallet and drive

grab a chisel and a mallet and drive

grab a chisel and a mallet and drive them in as much as they go in then you

them in as much as they go in then you

them in as much as they go in then you can use a couple of nails or screws to

can use a couple of nails or screws to

can use a couple of nails or screws to keep them in place and then you can

keep them in place and then you can

keep them in place and then you can apply some glue or construction adhesive

apply some glue or construction adhesive

apply some glue or construction adhesive on all sides of it this way they sit in

on all sides of it this way they sit in

on all sides of it this way they sit in the right spot so if it stops making

the right spot so if it stops making

the right spot so if it stops making noise in the future this is the bottom

noise in the future this is the bottom

noise in the future this is the bottom part of that very first step as you can

part of that very first step as you can

part of that very first step as you can see there's a big gap here so this was

see there's a big gap here so this was

see there's a big gap here so this was built this way intentionally so whenever

built this way intentionally so whenever

built this way intentionally so whenever they were building this house the tile

they were building this house the tile

they were building this house the tile person could put all those tiles

person could put all those tiles

person could put all those tiles underneath of it and hide it pretty much

underneath of it and hide it pretty much

underneath of it and hide it pretty much that's the reason why they lift it but

that's the reason why they lift it but

that's the reason why they lift it but no one took care of it when the tell job

no one took care of it when the tell job

no one took care of it when the tell job was done they had to pretty much secure

was done they had to pretty much secure

was done they had to pretty much secure this down so it doesn't make that a

this down so it doesn't make that a

this down so it doesn't make that a squeaky noise right now this is left

squeaky noise right now this is left

squeaky noise right now this is left untouched and every time we step onto

untouched and every time we step onto

untouched and every time we step onto the first step it kind of put pressure

the first step it kind of put pressure

the first step it kind of put pressure here and this goes down and up a little

here and this goes down and up a little

here and this goes down and up a little bit from the sides and it makes that

bit from the sides and it makes that

bit from the sides and it makes that ugly squeak noise so I'm going to cut a

ugly squeak noise so I'm going to cut a

ugly squeak noise so I'm going to cut a piece of plywood and put it in here and

piece of plywood and put it in here and

piece of plywood and put it in here and then I'm going to glue it down nice and

then I'm going to glue it down nice and

then I'm going to glue it down nice and neat

neat

neat I cut a few plywood pieces to fill that

I cut a few plywood pieces to fill that

I cut a few plywood pieces to fill that gap on the bottom part of the stairs

gap on the bottom part of the stairs

gap on the bottom part of the stairs I cleaned up the area at the very bottom

I cleaned up the area at the very bottom

I cleaned up the area at the very bottom part of the first step with the brush

part of the first step with the brush

part of the first step with the brush and then I used the damp rack to go over

and then I used the damp rack to go over

and then I used the damp rack to go over all these surfaces to make sure that

all these surfaces to make sure that

all these surfaces to make sure that there's absolutely no dust or any kind

there's absolutely no dust or any kind

there's absolutely no dust or any kind of a debris left there and then I used a

of a debris left there and then I used a

of a debris left there and then I used a very generous amount of construction

very generous amount of construction

very generous amount of construction adhesive at the very bottom part of here

adhesive at the very bottom part of here

adhesive at the very bottom part of here to fill that Gap completely there are so

to fill that Gap completely there are so

to fill that Gap completely there are so many different types of construction

many different types of construction

many different types of construction adhesives in the market but I highly

adhesives in the market but I highly

adhesives in the market but I highly suggest you to use one of these two

suggest you to use one of these two

suggest you to use one of these two brands that I'm showing here on this

brands that I'm showing here on this

brands that I'm showing here on this part of the video I'm not a sponsored by

part of the video I'm not a sponsored by

part of the video I'm not a sponsored by any of these companies I'm just giving

any of these companies I'm just giving

any of these companies I'm just giving you my honest opinion I happen to have a

you my honest opinion I happen to have a

you my honest opinion I happen to have a lot of construction adhesive left from a

lot of construction adhesive left from a

lot of construction adhesive left from a subfloor project so I decided to use it

subfloor project so I decided to use it

subfloor project so I decided to use it here this product is called Lumber lock

here this product is called Lumber lock

here this product is called Lumber lock and it's mostly available at wholesalers

and it's mostly available at wholesalers

and it's mostly available at wholesalers by any means this is not better than

by any means this is not better than

by any means this is not better than what you see on the top here so if you

what you see on the top here so if you

what you see on the top here so if you use the top ones it's by far better than

use the top ones it's by far better than

use the top ones it's by far better than what I actually used here

what I actually used here

what I actually used here now it's time to put my plywood pieces

now it's time to put my plywood pieces

now it's time to put my plywood pieces in place and use a hammer and drive them

in place and use a hammer and drive them

in place and use a hammer and drive them in

then I applied this construction

then I applied this construction

then I applied this construction adhesive to all the seams on the sides

adhesive to all the seams on the sides

adhesive to all the seams on the sides on the top on the bottom part so pretty

on the top on the bottom part so pretty

on the top on the bottom part so pretty much on all these seams I applied a very

much on all these seams I applied a very

much on all these seams I applied a very generous amount of this construction

generous amount of this construction

generous amount of this construction adhesive as soon as the adhesive was

adhesive as soon as the adhesive was

adhesive as soon as the adhesive was applied I put a glove on my hand and I

applied I put a glove on my hand and I

applied I put a glove on my hand and I went over all these areas to push it

went over all these areas to push it

went over all these areas to push it pretty much in all these seams and make

pretty much in all these seams and make

pretty much in all these seams and make it nice and smooth I will cover this

it nice and smooth I will cover this

it nice and smooth I will cover this area with drywall again so the look is

area with drywall again so the look is

area with drywall again so the look is not a big deal for me whatsoever all I

not a big deal for me whatsoever all I

not a big deal for me whatsoever all I need to do is to apply a generous amount

need to do is to apply a generous amount

need to do is to apply a generous amount of this construction adhesive and push

of this construction adhesive and push

of this construction adhesive and push it or smear it with my fingers this way

it or smear it with my fingers this way

it or smear it with my fingers this way it makes contact with both surfaces of

it makes contact with both surfaces of

it makes contact with both surfaces of the woods on the sides and then that is

the woods on the sides and then that is

the woods on the sides and then that is basically the remedy for stopping this

basically the remedy for stopping this

basically the remedy for stopping this from making that a squeak or crazy noise

from making that a squeak or crazy noise

from making that a squeak or crazy noise and in case if you're wondering I used

and in case if you're wondering I used

and in case if you're wondering I used two big tubes of this construction

two big tubes of this construction

two big tubes of this construction adhesive for this whole area

adhesive for this whole area

adhesive for this whole area this is the finished look after I

this is the finished look after I

this is the finished look after I applied all this construction adhesive

applied all this construction adhesive

applied all this construction adhesive to all these seams it doesn't look

to all these seams it doesn't look

to all these seams it doesn't look pretty but honestly this is gonna do the

pretty but honestly this is gonna do the

pretty but honestly this is gonna do the job it's gonna stop that craziest squeak

job it's gonna stop that craziest squeak

job it's gonna stop that craziest squeak noise

noise

noise and as I said it before this area is

and as I said it before this area is

and as I said it before this area is going to be covered with drywall anyway

this is just the next day after I fixed

this is just the next day after I fixed

this is just the next day after I fixed these stairs listen to the noise level

these stairs listen to the noise level

these stairs listen to the noise level now and see how much of a difference it
