Q: Should I worry about uneven floors?

• <div><p>Uneven floors often signal structural issues in a home, so taking them seriously is vital. If you buy an older home with slightly uneven floors, check that your inspector thoroughly inspects the foundation to catch any potential issues early. And if you notice that your floors are becoming more uneven over time, call a pro to check your foundation ASAP.</p></div>

Q: What is the best flooring to cover tiles?

• <div><p>Many types of flooring can cover tiles, including vinyl, vinyl plank, engineered wood, carpet, and hardwood.

• <div><p>Although it isn&rsquo;t recommended to use more than 1,500 pounds of force per square inch (or PSI) on delicate siding materials like wood and metal, it&rsquo;s safe to use more than that on surfaces made of stone, cement, and, yes, vinyl. In most cases, you can use up to 3,500 PSI without any problems, though you&rsquo;ll want to make sure to use a tip with a spray span that better disperses this pressure, like a green or yellow tip.</p></div>
