Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Feb 21, 2015 10:50 pm Need some help please... We have some subsidence issues in the side of our house and are in process of getting repairs . It's about 5 cm lower on one side with minimal damage so far... Anyway after storms yesterday have noticed areas of depression in another room away from that side. The floor feels like it has hollow bubbles in it. So in the one room I can find 6-7 small depressions that feel like a small side plate sunk into the concrete slab . Can't see any water. What could this be ??? Please help it is my babies bedroom and am worried Many thanks Re: Help floor damage after qld storm 4Feb 23, 2015 9:18 pm Assume full concrete slab. Ipswich ...

Structural engineer because of slope or little depressions? We had Structual engineer look at house 1 month ago we need to get some work done. There was one small are of lower floor ( depression ) in hallway then and engineer not too concerned. These do feel like that. They are small I doubt they go down more than a cm or so. They are round ?? I really don't want to get another engineer again. How annoying... I doubt the insurance company would pay for it would they.... What do you think it could be?? Re: Help floor damage after qld storm 8Feb 24, 2015 1:59 pm It s hard to tell without more info or photos.. if an engineer has looked at it and its is no worse then its pointless to get another one in, unless your require a second opinion. Why dont you contact the one you spoke to orginally over the phone..he would be more familiar with your problem Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Help floor damage after qld storm 9Feb 24, 2015 2:35 pm Thanks I might recall him and ask. The hallway is the same but the new dips in babies room are different. We have builders coming to do quotes Friday so mayby they will know. I'm going to have nightmare of falling in a sinkhole though. So annoying we were putting house on market in November.... Not going to happen now.... Who wants a property with 50 mm footings movenent .... Sigh.... Re: Help floor damage after qld storm 10Feb 24, 2015 7:36 pm The biggest problem in Raceview is the black soil. I'm also guessing your house is around 20 yrs old. Sink hole would seem unlikely without knowing your street. Only parts of Raceview are undermined. Personally I wouldn't buy slab on ground in Raceview. I'm yet to see how the newer estates perform. I'm sure they are all waffle pods now. They also seem to engineer in the black soil a bit better than they used to. Without seeing it it would be hard to say, but it does seem weird if it's a definite circular depression Hello I am developing 2 side by side units.
