Uneven or Sagging Floors are usually a symptom of a much bigger problem with the shaky foundation of your home. Be very wary of any floor leveling professional who blindly gives you an answer for floor leveling costs without first exploring the types of uneven floors you have, or exploring more into the structure of your home. Some floor leveling jobs can be performed by DIY methods using short-term solution products, but you can count on having to do much more work to your home at some point. Whichever way you choose to go about it, you should consider the fact that most uneven floors have less to do with the surface of the floor, and much more to do with the structure of your home.
Unless you hired a cut-rate home contractor to build your home or lay your flooring, a new home should never ever have unlevel floors, regardless of whether you chose to use laminate, hardwood, tile, carpet, or any other surface. This is true for elevated floors, but especially for ground level floors. If your ground level floors are not level, you need to get an expert on your property as quickly as possible. Whether you have a basement or crawl space, or your structure is built on a concrete slab, ground level floors that are uneven could spell disaster.
