Framing and Sub-Flooring - Basement Subfloor Installation

I'm planning to install Dricore subfloor in my basement and then glue engineered flooring onto that. My floor has a slight slope to where there used to be a sump pump. (Since Basement Systems installed a perimeter french drain, the original sump was filled in and the basement has been dry.) I thought I would glue the Dricore together with a waterproof glue (like Gorilla) to increase its "simulation" of a single, giant sheet of subfloor. I figure I can live with the slight slope, but am concerned with any irregularities in the flatness of the cement. Dricore sells shims to be used to support any edges that don't rest solidly on the cement, but it seems to me that once one starts putting the stuff together, a later tile over a slight hump could end up raising slightly a tile that was laid earlier. Are these likely to cause a problem? How would it manifest itself, as a spongey or bouncy floor?

I've read about leveling compound and people grinding down the humps. I guess people wouldn't do this if it wasn't necessary. What does one use to do this grinding? I'm allergic to cement dust, so I would prefer not to have to take this step.

TIA for any feedback.

Alot of times you have to grind down cement floors if they have high spots. We use an angle grinder for this, definitely very dusty work. Being allergic would make it even worse! I'm not familiar with the flooring system you're talking about and just not a fan of laminate floors. But it must be a good thing, as thousands of people are using it these days. And we do have some resident experts in the trade here. I'll move this over to the Laminate Flooring forum, they will be more familiar with the various systems and subfloor requirements. Good luck.
