Hi - I recently posted (https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/hollow-sound-on-newly-laid-parquet.562191/) about a couple of hollow sounding areas in a newly laid parquet floor.
I’ve since called the floorer who laid it and he said it sounds like the boards have either lifted a little or the adhesive wasn’t thick enough in those places. He said it can be fixed by ‘injecting the floor’ at the hollow spots.
I haven’t asked him to do this yet as I can’t imagine how this can be done without obvious holes being left on the floor? I’m guessing he’s actually going to drill small holes then inject some adhesive or epoxy into the holes to fill the hollow.
is that what he means and does it look as bad as it sounds?!
