Best: grind, apply epoxy moisture barrier at 14 mils, apply primer, then self leveler

Ok but lazier and will probably work if you don’t have moisture issues, or if there’s a vapor barrier under the basement slab: apply primer and then SL

Cut all the corners but will probably work if you don’t have moisture issues or landscape drainage issues: apply SL and call it good

If you intend to finish the basement or make it a living space you should absolutely do the first route.

Thanks for the info! There is a French drain and sump pump already installed throughout the perimeter so luckily no moisture issues (knock on wood).

I think for now the goal is to just have a flat concrete surface for the floor.
