I am looking at a carpeted floor that has a big dip in it.
The floor is built on 6x8 joists 4' on center and one of them is crowning downward. (it is exposed beam on the ceiling below)
It would be pretty major to replace this joist , it has been there since the 70's so I would think it has done all its moving and is stable now.
The main concern is the floor above and the very noticeable dip in it.
It is probably close to 3/4" in the lowest spot.
What is the best way to fill this so it is not so drastic? Should I just use some leveling stuff and let the carpet padding float over the deep area?
What should I use?
thanks for any input
