How to install flooring
Make sure your floor is level.
Using a level, check your floor for bumps or low spots. If you are replacing old flooring, then the floor will usually be level, but if you are installing a floor in a new house you need to be sure the surface is flat.
Use a hammer and chisel to grind down high spots. Use a leveling compound to fill in any low spots.
