My grandfather’s house is in excellent condition but in some parts, the floors’ level has mostly dipped. We thought of hiring some experts but both my uncle and father said that they can fix it all by themselves. I asked them

how to fix sloping floors in an old house and they asked me to watch out what they do. You need not always hire some experts unless it is absolutely necessary. I can share some steps that you should definitely try out.

How to level a sloping floor?

You will first need to detect the reason behind it and after that there are some things you can do like:

  1. Jack up the house and place new footers wherever you see unevenness of the floor

  2. Remove the jack,  re-level it and then stabilize

  3. For stabilising you can follow these tips

    • Pouring self-leveling underlayment

    • Sistering the joists

    • Propping up the joists

    • Laying down new hardwood

If you think that the area is large and you won’t be able to do it yourself, do hire some experts and let them handle the task.
