   there are guys in my area that will pump in the floor leveling concrete.  (victoria bc) it is about $900 for a 20' x20' section.  might be less if the low point is only an inch.  i think the low point that i looked in to was 2.25"

   Thanks for the reply- I think I'm gonna try radiant heat installers; they use a gypsum-based mix that's pumped in...I'll let you know the result...

   yeah that is what this stuff was,  it was a comercial resurfacing company that would also do small jobs.  good luck

   Consider mud. At $5 a bag compared to $30 a bag for SLC, the savings are fairly obvious, and it can be floated over a period of days so long as the cold joint ends at an expansion joint.

   Really? I'd be very leery of installing ceramic tile over a 2" bed of drywall compound...Bill

   Ive done this quite a bit and I dont understand . If its an inch in a house where is it ? Pull up on the riens just a minute before you assume you have a big problem.

   Have you shot and recorded the house with a water level?

   Actually it's more like 2 inches in the lowest spot. We've used both a water level and a transit. The house was built in 1947 on the beach (sand), in an area that was unincorporated at the time, no plans or permits on file, so we're assuming no inspections. It's a slab on grade with no footings, so it has settled quite a bit. We've had helical piers installed, and are confident that the slab is now stable. After pulling up the carpet, we discovered that levelling concrete has been poured at least once before, so there's no telling how low that low corner really is!thanks

   Sorry, mud is 5 to 6 parts sand to 1 part portland cement.Regards, Scooter"I may be drunk, but you're crazy, and I'll be sober tomorrow." WC Fields, "Its a Gift" 1934
