Do I have subsidence ?

davidod

Hi All,

I live in a 3 storey house built in 1904 that was gutted and redone 5 years ago. We have a small utility room on the ground floor which sits at the bottom of a return and the tiles in which have just started cracking. See photos below. Just wondering what may have caused this and should I be worried / do I need to call an engineer? Many thanks to anyone who replies !

regards,

Dave

Hi, they are on the floor of the utility room. They were put onto a concrete floor.

Do the washing machines vibrate much on the spin?

Were they installed recently?

Does this crack line extend up the wall? or is it soley on the floor?

how was the surface prepared for the tiles? Was a tiling mat used?

Id be inclined to think its not subsidence as the house has been there over 100 years and more to do with some change associated with the room…. have you changed appliances? have you changed how you come in and out?

is there new building going on around you?

no new building around us at all.it's solely oni the floor. There is a new water pump in the room on the floor i forgot - its probaly down to that

Thanks for all the suggestions / help.
