Laminate floor board springs up and down. I did not fit it and have no idea who did. Cannot realistically lift floor from edges to support underneath as out of time. I think either the board was butted wrong way round without tounge into groove, ie slotted in wrong way, or groove has collapsed...

Hi, thanks for viewing my post. I've laid down laminate flooring on a uneven subfloor. (sub floor, Underlay, laminate) its become spongy (all over) and we can hear the floorboard while walking on them. like a boom of air when stepped on. I know now that an uneven floor would do something like...

I am in the process of lifting a living room carpet to put down laminate. There is already a very good quality underlay on top of a plywood floor. There is no damp. It seems crazy to lift it and replace with something else. Would this work?
