Sloping Basement Floor

Apr 09, 2005 3 Replies

Greetings all,



Could anyone give a recommendation on a floor leveling compound? I have a poored concrete basement floor in an 84 year old house. There is a floor drain in the floor and the floor slopes to the drain. The slope is significant and I would like to build up the existing drain and remove the slope. I have been in the house for 6 years and have never had water in the basement. The previous owner carpeted but did a lousy conversion to recreational space. I am planning to redo the conversion and the floor slope is really evident with furniture in the room sloping to the center. If this is done with a compund is there a max on thickness that can be done ? Can this be increased with more than one pour?



Any advice will be greatly appreciated


The drain is there for a reason, all the pipes and water heater etc will one day leak.

Those famous last words.
