Our home is 40 years old (3 level split, with crawl space, attached garage, 3 bedrooms). Over the past six (+/-) years, we have noticed a heaving in the floor which has raised approximately 2 to 3 inches. The room is approximately 13' x 18' and the builder installed hardwood parque flooring directly on the poured concrete floor. We have been told by one contractor that the whole floor will have to be removed and he believes that the problem could either be a leak from the drain pipe or tree roots. We have not gotten an idea of how much this would be to repair. We were told that it was very important to have repairs done and that it would be expensive. We are retired and therefore have limited resources. Any ideas of how much we are looking at? We plan to get at least several estimates, but have no idea what we should be looking for and how to judge if we are 'getting the straight goods'.
