Loose stair treads can happen because of normal home movement, worn fasteners, aging wood, or changes in humidity. A professional carpenter can inspect the stairs and repair or replace damaged treads.
Why Do Stair Treads Become Loose?
Common causes include:
- Aging wood
- Loose fasteners
- Seasonal movement
- Normal house settling
- Worn staircase components
Older staircases may develop these issues over time.
