    Hi all,

    Our 10yo house's perimeter slab has been damaged due to an inadequate damp-proof membrane separating the slab/footing from the surrounding soil. It appears that no vapour barrier was layered under the concrete slab, causing moisture in the soil to be absorbed into the slab footing. This cause of damage was assessed and confirmed by two independent insurance builders.

    We are now looking into getting the repair work done to the concrete footings and slabs. Any recommendations on slab edge dampness specialist or repairer in South Australia is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    bumblebee

    Hi, any luck finding repairer? I think I have similar issue in SA. Did your insurance cover?

    Thanks
