Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Mar 27, 2013 7:20 pm We recently had our engineered spotted gum direct stick to slab in our build. We have just had a good walk through the house and notice there are a couple of areas that sound different when you walk on them and a definite noticeable "give", almost spongey. It is only slight but definitely noticeable. On knocking these areas with our hands, it sounds hollow. Whereas knocking on the other areas sounds dense and solid as a rock. Am wondering if this is a laying fault or if this is generally acceptable in small areas? Building the Riva by Dale Alcock Homes.

There may be hollows/holes in the slab itself.

We definitely didnt notice any large holes or anything before it was laid, that being said it very well could be a low spot. Building the Riva by Dale Alcock Homes.

But I'm not sure… 3 6111 i had the my concreters concrete right up to the fence. I have pits all along my path, so the water tends to drain away from the house and into the pits. There's only one… 7 12711 |
