Hi, I am a new member here and am a female who likes to try and fix stuff in the house myself, if I can. Otherwise, I call a professional!
My situation is - I have some flooring that is squeaking when you walk on it. I bought the kit, Squeeeek No More to tack it down. I am afraid of drilling through the floor to find the floor joist to tack down the flooring. I did contact the Squeeeek no more company and they said it should not be a problem.
So my question is - How far under the floor, in the crawlspace are the wires for the house supposed to run according to code? Am I safe to try and locate the joist by drilling into the subfloor up to 2 inches with the drill bit. I am afraid I am going to hit an electrical wire or water pipe.
What about on the second story? Are the wires run only in the walls or is it the same code?
Thank you for your help!
