Level the floor without ripping it out

by

Q: We just ripped out carpet from our hallway. We discovered the floors had been finished, but the floor is not level. Is there any way to level the floor without ripping it out?

A: Probably not. The only possibility I can think of is to use jack post from the basement. I think this is something you would do well to have a contractor come in to have a look at.
