anybody ever use that

I hear you on the care of hardwood. One thing that worries me too is that we have a lot of what I call "springies" in our floor. It's new construction, 3 years old but you'll be walking across the floor and all of the sudden the floorboard under the carpet will spring against you.
That tells me that the flooring warped a bit or is possible coming up (doesn't really creak, just springs).
So, I don't know how solid the base has to be with hardwood or if adding hardwood would only strengthen the buckling, maybe be a treatment for it of sorts.
