How to fix squeaky subfloor on the second storey?

[reyre8]

Hi Community 🙂

I'm planning to fix the second storey subfloor in my house as it squeaks and make noises when walking on it 😰

To share some context, the house is from the 1970s. The second storey has carpet, but I can remove it, which pretty much gives me access to the subfloor (chipboard).

I have seen a couple of videos and talk to some builders as well in order to fix this issue. The consent goes pretty much around the following steps:

• Remove carpet.
• Find the places where the subfloor squeaks and put screws following the nails line. If possible use a stud finder before drilling in order to know if there is a stud underneath.
• If possible get some PVA wood glue, dilute it a bit, and put some over the chipboard joints.

I'm pretty much trying to collect (if you have done a similar fix) what have been your experiences (i.e. the fix actually worked, after some time the subfloor started squeaking again, and so forth).

Thanks
