Hello,
I have an old farmhouse from around the 1850s that I plan to convert into something fun, like a laundry room/gym. The project will be BUDGET as much as possible!
The concrete slab seems to be cast with a slope since there is a drainage hole through the wall in the far corner, which looks like it's from when the house was built.
My initial thought was to level the floor with a screed for rising moisture, but when I used the laser and saw that it was up to 110 mm, I realized it would be incredibly expensive.
I'm not sure if I have the desire, energy, or time to break up and recast!
Does anyone have a sensible solution for this? The surface will be tiled!!

No risk that it will settle as a loose layer and become a problem over time? I suppose a concrete layer should be at least 50mm thick? But of course, you can just fill in the worst part if that's the case!
