HDB flooring: Spotting signs of unevenness after installation

Uneven HDB flooring can result from subfloor imperfections, improper leveling during installation, settling of the building, or variations in the flooring material itself.

Contact your flooring contractor immediately to discuss the issue and arrange for inspection and potential rectification.
