Floor has a hump.
The cause of the damage can vary based on the type of basement you have and what floor material you use.
A hump in a subfloor occurs for different reasons.
If your floor is the new laminate floating floor variety you can try to remove the baseboards on either end of the section with the bump if the flooring is butted pretty tight to the wall you can cut about a 1 4 off the flooring with a hacksaw.
A level floor isn t necessarily a.
When you walk in the front door there is what almost looks like a speed hump running from the front door all the way to the opposite wall.
If the hump in the floor feels spongy or gives underfoot when you walk on it the most likely cause of the problem is underlayment that has come loose from the subfloor.
The bump was in wood laminate flooring that was layed down over the original tiled floor main floor the slab.
Some causes have easy fixes such as replacing certain parts of the flooring.
