In my terraced house, typical 2 up 2 down with stairs up the middle, the floors at the back of the house are sloping away from the middle of the staircase - ie. sloping from centre of house to the back door. The slope is evident both upstairs and downstairs.
I believe this is due to historical movement as these are old terraced houses.
I was going to rip up the floor, and sister the joists, however in the kitchen, if i levelled the timber joists by sistering, the top of the joist would probably be higher then the bottom of the external door frame.
What can i do to correct this?
Is it a case of rip it up and see whats happening?
