How to correct squeaking parquet flooring?

9 years ago

We have 1950's era oak parquet flooring (5 tiles per square & each square 5" per side) in an upstairs bedroom. In one area, about 4 feet square, the floor squeaks. We plan on having the flooring refinished soon. Can the squeaking be repaired before the flooring is refinished? How can it be repaired? Thanks for your advice.

I would drill a few small holes maybe 3/16th dia. And pump some epoxy into the holes. If its squeeking because theres an movement between the parquet and subfloor. If its the subfloor squeeking thats a different problem.
