Discovered a leaking water pipe underneath the kitchen floor.
Had to remove kitchen units and dig up part of floor to locate it, walls behind units are damp, insurance accessor been out today agreed to cough up for walls and floor to be filled in where i dug it up and whole floor re-tiled.
Further along the kitchen the floor is now uneven.
He advised me to get the ret of the tiles up in preperation for when the company comex with the drying equipment.
On getting up the tiles with an sds chisel it sounds hollow rather than solid.
Where the uneveness was theres a crack across the floor and rhe concrete is very soft, can scrape it out with a screwdriver,by the door thereis more damage, it is very damp throughout.
Advice im after is that after drying out is it viable to repair the damaged parts or would it really need all getting up and new floor.
Insurance company im with apparantly send out money and dont use contractors , so hoping if they agree to a new floor they actually pay enough to cover cost if the job!
