Floor Levelling & Flattening
At AK Level and Polish, we specialize in both floor flattening and precision floor leveling, ensuring every floor meets the highest industry standards for proper installation, performance, and warranty compliance.
Floor Flattening process
For floor flattening, we use a 10-foot straight edge to carefully survey the floor, identifying high and low points that could affect the installation of your chosen floor covering. These areas are marked with water-based spray paint, allowing our team to systematically grind down high spots and patch low spots — a process known as grind and patch. This method ensures the floor is flat within the tolerances required by flooring manufacturers and installers, protecting your product warranties.
Advanced Floor Leveling with Precision Lasers
When a project requires a fully level floor across the entire space, we use high-precision Stabila lasers to get the most accurate elevation readings available. This advanced technology allows us to detect even the slightest deviations in the substrate, ensuring that self-leveling underlayment (SLU) is applied at the correct thickness across the floor. This creates a perfectly level and smooth surface that is ideal for all types of floor coverings — including tile, hardwood, carpet, epoxy coatings, and more.
Why Floor Leveling Matters
At first glance, a floor may appear flat — but hidden dips, high spots, and uneven areas can lead to costly problems down the line. Proper floor leveling is an investment that protects your property and saves money in the long run.
Prevents Costly Moisture Damage
Uneven floors create low spots where water can pool, leading to mold, material damage, and structural decay. Leveling ensures water flows properly and protects your property from expensive moisture-related repairs.
Extends Floor Life and Reduces Maintenance Costs
A level floor prevents uneven wear and reduces stress on flooring materials, helping floors last longer and lowering the risk of cracks, separation, and premature failure. This translates to lower maintenance and repair costs over time.
Boosts Property Value and Appearance
Level floors ensure that flooring materials lay smoothly, creating a clean, professional look that enhances both aesthetics and property value — making your space more attractive to buyers, tenants, and customers.
Improves Safety and Reduces Liability
By eliminating trip hazards, floor leveling helps create a safer environment, reducing the risk of accidents and potential liability claims.
