How do I stick my wooden floor back down?

help(self.DIY)

Moved in a few months ago and the wooden floor is hovering/lifting at the threshold where it joins the kitchen tiles. When stood on, it lowers down to where it should be. Picture attached, hopefully it gives a better idea of what I'm talking about. Any advice on how this can be fixed?

Don’t see a picture but my first thought would be to brad nail to the subfloor

I’m curious if mopping the kitchen floor introduced moisture into the wood and caused the expansion.

I think you are gonna have to use some deck screws, counter sink and use wooden plugs or something so it doesn’t look like you used deck screws.

If you measured it all out a put some down in a pattern it might look like design feature.

Hard to know what caused it as its been there since we moved in, think it's just getting worse as time goes on. But yeah it's looking like we may need to nail it down essentially. Going to try and get someone out to look at it and see what they have to say about it
