It really depends. I'm guessing the whole house isn't at 13, and the bathroom is on an exterior wall that sunk and the structure of the main floor results in the bathroom seeing the most of the slant. If the whole house is at 13 degrees I would be weary about living in it.

The main floor is definitely not at 13 degrees, thank god. It feels flat. The bathroom is on a back section of the house that very well may have been added later.

Typically in homes of this age the water/sewage was added long after and typically all plumbing will be on a single wet wall. It's highly likely that this additional added structure, typically an add on is the problem child. Jacking only a single section will be far less involved than needed to address the whole structure.
