[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 253327, member: 983"] Gypcrete isn't fun to deal with. And even though it is lightweight you are still adding a lot of dead load to a probably already stretched set of joists. Leveling with joists on top can work, though you are going to end up with areas that are less than the thickness of your new subfloor that will need to be leveled with some sort of self leveling compound. It takes A LOT of that stuff to fill in areas, way more than you think. Generally speaking sinking is much, much easier to fix than uplifting. Uplifting usually involves expansive soils, which gets ugly. However, given the soils in that area I can't imagine that sinking is going to be cheap if your start talking piers! [/QUOTE]
