The main cause of squeaky floors is movement. There are typically three (3) reasons movement occurs on your floor. 

1. Seasonal Movement - Floors expand and shrink with season change due to a lack of or too much humidity. This expanding and shrinking loosens flooring boards and will cause squeaks between flooring boards or within the fastener and subfloor.
2. Subfloor Issues - Subfloor issues are common culprits of squeaky floors and should be addressed before the new flooring is installed. Here are some common subfloor issues.
   1. Out of level subfloor
   2. Spacing between the subfloor and joists
   3. Subfloor seams off-center with joists
   4. Improper subfloor material. 
3. Fasteners - Improperly fastening a floor is a sure way to cause squeaks. If the flooring is not installed with the proper fastener schedule (spacing between fastener) or the wrong size fastener your floor will loosen and squeak. Over seating, a fastener will also create squeaks when the fastener pushes through the bottom of the board separating it from the subfloor
