Need a winter DIY project? Time to level up your uneven basement flooring

(BPT) - Stuck indoors? Winter is the perfect time to address indoor issues that affect the functionality, safety, appearance and value of your home. One great example: A basement or other room with unlevel flooring, new concrete floors or pre-cast slabs with unacceptable finishes — or existing concrete floors with damaged finishes.

While it may seem daunting, you don't have to undergo major demo like demolishing the existing concrete slab to achieve a safe, even floor. You can repair the surface and correct sloping so your floor will be more usable just as it is, or in preparation for ceramic tile, resilient flooring, carpet or some other finish.
