Questions, answered

Uneven Floor Concerns in Chester County FAQs.

What are signs that floors are uneven?

Slope, high spots, squeaking, bounce or movement, and cracking tile or grout.

What causes uneven floors in a house?

Uneven floors can come from aging or undersized joists, damaged beams or posts, moisture or insect damage, settlement, crawl-space deterioration, subfloor problems, or earlier repairs and alterations. NK investigates the structure below the floor before deciding how it should be corrected because different causes require different repair methods.

Should the cause of an uneven floor be repaired before the floor is leveled?

Yes when the unevenness is being caused by an active structural or moisture problem. Adding leveling material over a floor can improve the surface without correcting weakened framing, settlement, failing supports, or water damage below it. NK Construction & Design identifies and addresses the underlying condition first, then determines what leveling or finish work is appropriate for the completed repair.
