Subfloor Repair & Levelling
Subfloor Repair And Levelling In Ottawa
Plan The Work Around Your Home
A new floor is only as good as what is under it. New Era Flooring checks the subfloor, screws down loose sheets, glues and screws down new subfloor where it is damaged or needs strength, and levels the surface so the new floor sits flat.
Start With A Floor Assessment
If a floor feels soft, moves underfoot or is visibly uneven, the cause is often below the finished surface. We look at the floor and, where needed, what is under it, then tell you what the fix involves. You can book an assessment on its own.
Re-Screwing, Gluing And Adding Subfloor
Loose subfloor sheets are screwed back down to the framing. Damaged sections are cut out and replaced. Where the floor needs more strength, we glue and screw an extra layer of subfloor down before the new floor goes in.

Self-Levelling Uneven Floors
Dips and humps show through a new floor, and tile is especially unforgiving. We pour self-levelling compound over uneven areas so the surface is flat before plank flooring or tile goes down.
Preparing A Subfloor For Tile
For tile, the prepared subfloor gets an uncoupling membrane, and wet areas get a waterproofing membrane. We use Schluter systems, including KERDI.
Preparation-Only Work
If you plan to install the floor yourself, or another trade is doing it, you can hire us for the assessment and subfloor work only.
Subfloor Repair And Levelling Questions
What Does Subfloor Repair Involve?
Depending on the floor, we screw down loose sheets, replace damaged sections, glue and screw down an extra layer for strength, and level uneven areas.
Do You Level Floors Before Installing New Flooring?
Yes. We pour self-levelling compound over uneven areas so the new floor or tile goes down flat.
Can You Add Subfloor To Make A Floor Stronger?
Yes. We glue and screw down additional subfloor for structure before the new floor is installed.
Can I Book A Floor Assessment On Its Own?
Yes. We can look at the floor, tell you what it needs and quote the work, whether or not you hire us for the rest of the job.
Do You Prepare Subfloors For Tile?
Yes. After the subfloor is repaired and levelled, we install an uncoupling membrane, plus a waterproofing membrane in wet areas.
