Searching the web looking for information on what constitutes a level floor is frustrating, because in most contexts, "level" is being interpreted as 'ground level' 'mezzanine level', etc.
On this site, I did find a definition of level as being no more that a 1:50 slope, or 2%. But to me, that means if my house is 50 feet wide, one end could be 1 foot higher than the other?
A house for sale in my neighborhood is advertised as a fixer, with "settling issues throughout." So I'm curious as to how "level" the repaired floors would need to be. I'm familiar with using a hose with sight glasses on both ends with markings to determine the relative difference in elevation between two points.
Thanks in advance for your insights.
