Leveling a concrete.
Level a sloping concrete floor.
Regular wear and tear severe fluctuating weather conditions and improperly preparing the ground before a concrete pour can result in a sloping concrete slab.
Slightly sloping floors which are common in older houses often worry homeowners who want to install new rigid floorings such as laminate ceramic tile or hardwood.
To resurface an uneven concrete slab begin by laying a long straight 2x4 wooden rail across the concrete slab floor with one end positioned on the high point in the room.
The best method for leveling a sloped patio or porch floor is to pour a layer of self leveling concrete on the surface of the existing concrete.
Although most floors slope it is important to know how much and why.
Slip shims under the low end of the 2x4 rail until it s perfectly level then use a scribing tool to transfer the unevenness of the floor onto the rail.
