This is a judgment call. It all depends on what you can live with. You didn't mention if it was your floor, or one you are doing for someone else. In an old house, floors and walls are always out.....new ones too... take a closer look at what you think may be needed to level the floor out. Look at it from the basement...? Leveling a floor in a house that is not level could lead to lots more painful floor-leveling in the room/s connected. If there are bumps in the floor affecting the seams, you may want to work those with either shims, or sandpaper/grinder. I'm willing to bet you just continue to lay the floor, and live with it.

No, not if you don't mind your laminate being slightly uneven - if the floor has bumps or waves, it will not lay perfectly flat and some seams may be a little more visible - the laminate is considered a 'floating' floor and does not need to be perfectly level. If you were doing tile, that is attached to the floor and would need a perfect level surface.

How bad is the unevenness? You can use a leveling compound. You pour it on the highest starting point of the uneven portion and it should level itself down. good luck!!

to do it the professional way, yes, then you would have to level the floor. But if you don't care we don't care!!! Mine is uneven and I live with a contractor...lol

if there is a rise in it, you can take a grinder to it, to cut it down or if its to deep then fill it in with body filler. you dont have to tear it all up.
