Laminate floor - feeling ups & down when I walk - installtion issue?

Question

Hi,
I had ceramic tiles installed in my living room and I wanted to get wood flooring and decided to go with laminate as it can be installed on top of ceramic directly.
My ceramic tile floor was not flat and there were few spots where one tile was bit high then surrounding ones.
Now, I have had 7mm thick laminate installed and when you walk, you will clearly feel some spots going up & down. you will also feel different sound in such spots and even other person watching your foot can figure out.

Is this normal? Could installed have installed it with some more padding or with something else to avoid this issue?
Is there any solution now?
I was thing about removing tiles but what if underneath floor is not flat. I don't have basement and I believe I have concrete floor.
Any comments/suggestion or same experience?
Thanks,
Sam

Answer 1

did you put an underlayment down. What flooring did you use?

Answer 2

Before you can get the results you want, you've got to make sure that the substrate (in your case, the tile) is level. This is absolutely vital. Try to avoid traffic on your floor until you can get around to the re-install. Hopefully, you've used the type of laminate that you can "unclick" and take up. If you haven't already, choose a quality underlayment, which can help to even out your substrate. Depending on how uneven the substrate is, you may have to seek professional advice on how best to tackle your problem.

Good luck as you go forward with this.

Answer 3

It will never be any different until you remove the laminate and get the tiles smooth and even with each other. You have created "bridging" of the laminate and it will continue to flex.

Answer 4

just lift the tiles that are higher and making the bumps and level it with something else.
