Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 12Nov 17, 2018 5:15 pm The laminate floor is flat except about 80cm from the wall where a slight slope or slant starts to form up to where the floor meets the wall, its only slight , l got a 20cm level reading measurer from Bunnings with liquid ball between the two lines, when l put it on the slope the liquid ball in the middle only goes about 3 or 4 millimeters outside the line, maybe a slope that small is nothing to worry about? l cant see any cracks anywhere in the walls , exempt one tiny hairline crack. Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 13Nov 19, 2018 10:48 pm Maybe I am misunderstanding you- Were you using a very short- 20cm - length level check floor levels? And it was 4mm outside of line? If you were, a professional inspection sooner rather than later, may give you the information or reassurance you are wanting. Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 14Nov 20, 2018 1:20 pm yes l will get a builder to have a look next month, house is 7 years old , past year l have noticed a very slight slope on floors of the rooms on one side of the house, hardly noticeable, showed it to a couple of friends who visted and they all said its nothing to worry about and they could hardly see it , don't know if l am just being paranoid but l guess if there is a problem better to find it early., maybe the slight slope is just the way the house was built or the foundations on one side might have slightly moved , but theres no big cracks or anything Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 15Nov 20, 2018 5:03 pm Good on you. Information is power. You’ll get more clarity. Without pictures and lots more information I don’t believe anyone online will be able to tell you with confidence if they believe it’s ok. You may just want to check references of the builder/engineer you are getting. If you used a 20cm level that probably isn’t telling you much more than what you can visually see. The expert you hire can check if floors are level over 2m, over the room and/or the whole level to use towards their assessment. Vic consumer affairs can explain the 7/10 years warranty question. Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 16Nov 20, 2018 6:35 pm The company that build the house says it has a 7 year structural warranty but its been 7 years and 6 months so l am 6 months out, what if a builder says the actual problem started a year ago would it be inside the warranty ? Somone else said all houses have a 10 year warranty in Victoria

Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 18Nov 20, 2018 7:49 pm l read it quickly then, does it mean l am covered for ten years under the law even though the warranty from the house company said it was 7 years, so l am covered for ten years under the law even if the warranty says 7 years, l hope that correct Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 19Nov 21, 2018 8:19 pm https://www.maddocks.com.au/ten-year-li ... -victoria/ http://lclawyers.com.au/wp-content/uplo ... 5-9426.pdf Page 24 4.18 Read this second link page 24, 4.18 and then call consumer affairs to discuss your situation. Then you can understand your rights should a problem be identified... and causes of the defect are investigated. No point worrying when you may have no problem. Re: settlement, foundation problems legal rights 20Nov 22, 2018 7:27 am jimbo73 ............past year l have noticed a very slight slope on floors of the rooms on one side of the house, hardly noticeable, showed it to a couple of friends who visted and they all said its nothing to worry about and they could hardly see it , don't know if l am just being paranoid but l guess if there is a problem better to find it early., Because the slope is in rooms along one side of the house, it is best to have it investigated for your peace of mind. What is your soil classification? Degrees of foundation movement can be caused by having lawn or gardens against the house or a poor slope away from the house and these are issues that are first looked at for cause. Such issues are often on the side of the house opposite to where the perceived problem areas are. Do you have a tree on that side of the house? Prior to very recent times, parts of Victoria have had well below average rainfall. Maybe also check your local weather station's monthly rainfall figures over the last couple of years.
