Made bulleted list work and purged the "thanks".

Low spots can be filled with self leveling concrete. It may take a combination of both to have a long lasting floor.

In general however, the dips matter whether they are actual 'dips' (the grade changes quickly in a short distance) or normal imperfections (happens over long distances). if it's 1/8th of a inch over 10ft, it's not going to be significant. If it's over a foot, it will be significant.
