Flatness, Tolerance, Warranty
Modern finish flooring is intolerant. LVP manufacturers commonly require flatness on the order of 3/16″ in 10 feet, and large-format tile is stricter. Miss the tolerance and the symptoms arrive on schedule: clicking plank joints, lipped tile edges, and a flooring warranty claim that gets denied because the substrate was out of spec.
Self-leveling underlayment is the fix: a fluid topping that seeks its own level across dips, crowns, worn slabs, and transition mismatches, then cures to a hard, flat, bondable surface. Poured from featheredge up to several inches, it turns a battered slab into a substrate the flooring manufacturer will stand behind.
Old Slabs, New Tenants, Tight Turnovers
Commercial fit-out and renovation is where leveling scope hides. Demo the old flooring in a retail shell or office floor and you inherit decades of history: adhesive residue, patch jobs, trenching scars, elevation changes at every former wall line. The tenant’s opening date does not move. We resurface and level these floors as a dedicated scope: mechanical prep, repair of spalls and joints, then a self-leveling pour that resets the whole floor plate to one plane.
