Default How much sagging is acceptable?

Hi,

We bought our house last year and a friend of mine pointed out our
sagging floors just in the main entrance area (First floor on top of
the basement). There are around 5 rows of titles (each spanning 15
titles). The first row closest to the living room is perfectly straight
while the second row has a slight downward slope all the way to the
last row closest to the kitchen (less than 1/2 inch depth). It looks
like it has stablized and it's not sagging any more. Both the living
room and our kitchen area is perfectly leveled. Our house is around 18
years old and the tiles don't have any crack or loose grout (except in
some parts as a result of poor tiling). What I want to know is that is
this a bad tiling job? or sagging? Also if it has stablized do I need
to worry about it? It's not noticable at all.

BTW, also there is height fluctuation between floor and the baseboards
anywhere from 0-1/4 inches.




Thanks
Maz
