Our kitchen, living room, dining room are all tiled (1100 sq feet.) The remainder of our 4BR home is carpeted. We have had some issues with tile getting loose, grout breaking so had several companies come out to bid replacing with carpet. BEST rep we have experienced so far thought the tile is coming up due to improper installation not treating the slab floor (before we bought) but also said it could be cracks from settling? From our research and his reinforcing comments, I realize a concrete slab IS "porus" so moisture is always potentially there.
We have NO cracks in walls or ceiling and from the several quotes, this company seems to be much more experienced with possible diagnostic theories/assumptions? NO evidence of a slab water leak but we are 3 lots up from the lake but on a higher elevation from lake front, so could it be foundation?
Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and what did you do to resolve it? Any other indicators that would point toward foundation issues?
Serious post here, both of us are retired and this will really cut into our retirement savings.
