I have jsut bought a house and have a potential issue with the floor in one upstairs bedroom.
The main room is at the front of the house and the small bedroom also. The joists run across the width of the house ( left to right ). In the main bedroom there is a dip on one side of about 15mm which spans about four feet at its worst on one side ( the small room side ). However, the floor on the other side of the partition wall in the small room looks relatively ok.
I cant understand how this could possibly be. I havent taken up the floor yet, but was wondering if there are any gems of wisom anyone could share. If the joist was mispositioned, then I cant understand how it could dip one side of the partition and not the other ?
