Hi, we have a problem with our 3bed bungalow, 1000sq ft living space with breeze block walls. Having had some internal cracks looked at by our loss adjuster, we have movement of our concrete slab floor due to poor consolidation of subbase. Unfortunately our insurance does not cover this. He has suggested we use a company to stablise the slab by injecting polymer through bore holes.
Our loss adjuster has suggested we are on cohesive soil, but did not say that that was a factor in the problem. We also have a Oak tree 5m from our property - again he did not say that that was a factor.
Should we have go to the expense of having soil tests? If so can anyone recommend a company who is reasonably priced.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this type of repair, and also recommend a company for quotes.
Any help/advice on our situation would be gratefully received - this has been a very expensive shock to us! Thank-you
