Reply to comment by New_Insect_Overlords in Ideas how you would/could correct this sagging bathroom floor? 100+ year old house by [deleted]

This. The first question i would ask is "does the floor slope because the floor joists are compromised, or because they are sound but out of level?"

Also, how are the floors in the rest of the house? Does everything slope? This might be the difference between a bathroom floor leveling project, and a foundation project.

Absolutely correct.

My house is 100 years old, and I just learned during a foundation repair that they commonly didn't even pour footings. They also didn't properly compact the ground, so sagging soon after construction is pretty common from what I have heard. Concrete doesn't last forever....
