I found only one video about this problem. First he had to find the joist(?) under the linoleum. I'm in a 14x66. Wouldn't the joists run 14 feet? The popping edge is in the 14 feet direction. Couldn't I just place screw about 3/4" inch from the edge that is popping? In the vid, he used a special type of screw. It had threads, then no threads, then more threads and a tiny head. Could I just use #8x3" galvanized bugle head deck screws? I could fill the hole in the lino with caulk. I am very able to disguise the caulk with paint.
Hope somebody can help me with this. My lino is not old and in great shape. Thanks.

When I step on it without shoes, it feels like it goes down. It is about 3 feet long and I can't see any movement of the part outside my foot. I have no idea, but I can tell you the floor has been squeaky for a long time. When the linoleum was put in about 7 years ago, I asked them to screw down the squeaky area, but apparently they did not. And I did check for any dampness at that time.

There are no water pipes in that area. They are about 4 feet away running parallel to the 66 feet. I did have a flood from the washer a year or so ago, but I was here and got it cleaned up fast and the upcoming edge is not hear a seam. It is one solid piece of lino.
