Low spots through a hallway and kitchen
Low areas in the hallway and kitchen filled with levelling compound.
Low spot & depression correction
We find the low points in the floor and fill them with the right floor-prep material.
Includes
- Low points found
- Filled and corrected
- Suitable floor-prep material
Low spots are dips that sit below the rest of the floor. We find them with a laser level and a straight edge.
Then we fill and correct them with suitable floor-preparation material, so the floor is ready for what goes on top.
What we look for
Low spots
Dips that sit below the rest of the floor.
Unevenness
A wavy floor with no single high or low point.
Differences in height
A step or change in level between rooms or at a doorway.
How a low spot gets fixed
Find it
A straight edge shows where the floor dips.
Prime it
The area is prepared so the fill bonds to the floor.
Fill it
Floor-prep material goes into the low area and is worked flat into the floor around it.
Check it
The straight edge goes back over the patch.

Questions
Do you fill just the low spots or level the whole floor?
It depends on the floor. Some floors only need the low spots filled. Others need the whole floor levelled. We check first.
