  • Floor high in the middle

    I have a 12’1 x11’5″ room that is high in the middle at about 6’6″ from the north wall. The planks will run east/west. I will be going out the door into the hallway and other rooms. I am working on a full house sketch. My question is what is the best way to level this room. The room is about 1/4 low on the north side and 3/16 low on the south side. I added a hand drawing of the room itself. Thanks for your input.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I had thought about building up each side and using the henry 555 leveler. its a gradual slope. I made a 12ft level out of a long piece of MDF and 4 rv levels and put a piece of 1/4 mdf scrap on each side to see how much slope. I will try to take a picture tonight and post later. It is definitley a 2 layer subfloor. Top is 3/4 or 5/8 particle board and second is 1×4 boards at approximately 45 degree angle from the floor joist. thanks

    These are not to good, but you can see the lines in the middle. Thats the high spot. It gradually tapers each side from there. I may put about 10-15 planks together in the middle area there and see how much the raised part shows up. Is there any hard thin underlayment that i could layer from outside to middle to take up the gap. its a rental house so i dont want to spemd a bunch of money or time on it. Thanks
