Floor Has A Hump

How to fix the floor when it is higher in the middle.

Floor has a hump.

The home has a basement where we can see the floors and i cannot see anything. 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. In the colder months your bump will probably disappear since wood shrinks in cold. The cause of the damage can vary based on the type of basement you have and what floor material you use.

I pulled up the wood laminate flooring and found 3 shattered tiles that had shoved upwards and 2 more with cracks down the middle that hadn t shoved upwards. We lived in our home for 22 years and recently noticed a hump in a floor between the kitchen and the living room. Hi we are in the process of buying a house and we have no clue what to do about this floor. 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.

The bump was in wood laminate flooring that was layed down over the original tiled floor main floor the slab. A hump in a subfloor occurs for different reasons. We have no clue what to do to fix this. In ideal conditions a finish floor s surface will be flat across the entire installation area.

A level floor isn t necessarily a. For instance the builder may not have properly installed the subfloors regardless of the reason you have to repair the subfloor to preserve your existing floor or make sure that your newly installed floor doesn t sustain future damage. If you notice humps bumps ridges or bulges in your basement floor these could be signs of serious damage beneath the surface.
