Customer has a very squeaky bathroom floor. There is a crawl space underneath it. I have crawled to the spot and looked where the squeak is coming from and it appears the subfloor is stable so I can only guess that the underlayment is not. She just put new vinyl flooring down. Any creative ways of fixing this..save slicing the flooring and screwing the underlayment down? If that is the only fix available (cutting the flooring) is that something a carpenter can do or am I going to need to get the flooring people back out there?
