Bought a house (good price) on a slab that has a kitchen floor that is, for some reason, very uneven. Most of the kitchen floor (the eastern two-thirds) is even but the ground under the slab must have moved after the concrete was poured because the floor has a slope to it at one end. It dips about a 1.5" - 2" at the west end of the kitchen, over a span of 6 feet (sorry I'm not metric).
The house is brick outside and the brick is not cracked, nor is there sign of other damage, like to the plaster. It literally looks like they poured the slab (50 yrs ago) and that area of the slab had insufficient support underneath. Maybe the ground was not compacted properly.
Anywho this floor is ridiculous. If I do floor leveler to bring it up, it will create a 1-2" step as you go thru the doorway into the dining room, which would be ridiculous as well.
Previous owners just put linoleum down and probably spent decades putting things under the table legs to even it out. Questions -
Can I put laminate down over such an uneven surface ?
Would you level it anyway and accept the dropoff into the dining room ?
TIA !
