- If you have a concrete subfloor: The first step is to remove loose and chipping bits of concrete of the floor. This may be the principal cause of the unevenness, but adding self-leveling concrete is best in order to ensure that the surface is level as possible before you install your bamboo. Seal any cracks with concrete filler, and then evenly distribute self-leveling concrete across the portion of the subfloor you’re repairing. Because the mixture is relatively soupy, it will spread across the area and level out. However, if you moving from the corners of a room to the middle or vice versa, be certain you are pouring the mixture evenly so you don’t create or exaggerate large dips.
- If you have a wooden subfloor: You can also use self-leveling floor patcher for wooden subfloors in order to fill in dips and large patches of uneven wood. This will be common in high traffic areas or places where moisture has collected since this can cause the floor to warp or get worn down. If your subfloor has humps or raised patches, sand those portions down to create an even surface.
