I'm not sure what is wrong with the floor in my house. On the hardwood part there are lumps forming all over the place. In the laminate kitchen there a lumps and you can feel where it's sinking in certain places. What kind of company should I get to look at the floor or foundation? The house is only 7yrs old and we just moved in 6 mos ago. We had the home inspected before we moved in. Is there any way insurance pays for this if it's a major problem? Shouldn't our inspector have seen this? It's seems like there are new bumps and sinking every day.
IT MIGHT NOT BE THE FLOOR SINKING AS MUCH AS THE FLAKE BOARD THAT IS THE FLOORING. SOUNDS LIKE THE FLOOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN 3/4-PLYWOOD
First look for major water leak.Then if water is standing under your home.Is the yard draining properly?Its a water problem.
the flooring is swelling do to humidity this is the humps. In the winter it will shrink. the flooring was not put down correctly (no room for expansion) Hard wood flooring that is nailed down is the worst. I have better luck gluing down hardwood or leaving expansion gaps. The laminate flooring needs a 3/8 space around outside perimeter for expansion ( so called floating floor) unless glued down.
