Is the well too high?

[pelleandersson]

I had a guy who helped me cast the floor in the basement. I think he set the well too high. It takes a lot of leveling compound as I understand. Is there any good tips on how I can do?

How high is it? Isn't there usually a minimum thickness when self-leveling compound is used?

Sue the company that messed up?

The well is located 12 mm above the concrete floor.

The well is 12 mm above the concrete floor

That's exactly how it's supposed to be.

Maybe fooled by the picture, but is it really level?

That's exactly how it should be.

How so?

Normally, you cast the well level with the concrete floor and then apply a slope (if needed) afterward...

Didn't think. Assumed that there would be underfloor heating.

Didn't think. Assumed it would be for electric floor heating.

Yes, then it would be optimal...

What will you have on the floor? Clinics? What will the room be used for?

Should have tiles

Well, then it becomes so that filler+adhesive+mosaic should be 12 mm or a bit more... as a tile novice that doesn't sound entirely impossible?

 

[Stefan N]

The filler should be level with the drain, then the tiles come on top and at the drain, you place a slukrist.

Now I have the answer. The guy I had here made a mistake. Had to buy leveling compound for 7000 SEK just in material cost for a 15.5 m2 room. I would have done it much better myself.
