I have a 2 years old house and a month ago showing some gaps and grout mark between wall and floor tile on some area. There are about three area at the moment. The grout mark on wall so far the highest is about 10mm. So there are about 5 doors that cannot be closed.
I have doing some research and suspecting slab movement but not sure what has caused it. Spoke with the company that we built the house with but it has been more than a couple of weeks still with no answer. Actually i had to engage a second builder from the company due to the first one was dissapeared.
My questions are:
1. Is this possible slab movement normal? Do you think this is what causes?
2. Do I need a building inspector to determine the definite causes? A yone can recommend one in melbourne?
3. Since the slab was done by the first builder, should I judt go straight to home warranty insurance? Do I need to get a building inspector report first before contacting the insurer?
Thanks in advance. Your advise would be much appreciated.
