I went to measure a basement that has been turned into a living area. There are two bedrooms, a small laundry, and a decent sized bathroom. From the daylight basement side, the living room area is 12x19. Looking at the way the sheetrock was hung, the concrete tapers gradually down and I'm guessing close to 2 inches.
As long as it's flat, is a 2-in slope over 19 ft okay?
I believe the material is Cortec, but it's the thinner gauge material with that tiny locking joint that I don't like.
I think the rest of the floor is fine, it just tapers from one end to the other towards the outside corner wall.
In this drawing the area with the problem is on the lower right. This part of the room is a daylight basement, towards the left it gradually becomes below grade. This is notched into a hillside so the area where the problem is, is summit near the edge of a down sloping hill. The house is probably 30 years old. No big cracks in the concrete so no obvious signs of movement.
