How much floor sloping is acceptable?

Posted on July 14, 2019 | July 14, 2019 by Jeremy Livermore, S.E., P.E.

When the floor is sloping to this extent, greater than 5/8 inch per 4 feet, the foundation settlement due to soil compressibility is severe. Such settlement requires a Structural Engineering evaluation and inspection to determine the proper retrofit.
