Finding the Floor

Posted on Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 at 9:04 am

There’s a low tech way to determine and set the level of a floor in preparation for the application of a "self" leveling poly/concrete mixture.

  • Place a couple free-standing poles at either end of the floor.
  • Stretch a string taut between them at any height.
  • Level the string with a string-level.
  • Measure the height of the string along its entire course; the difference in each measurement will pinpoint the precise depth or height off level below the string.
  • Mark high spots.
  • In low spots place a screw in the floor at the height required of level.
