We own a 3 year old home in Lewisville, Texas. Our foundation is a slabtek foundation, which means it was poured post tension slab then raised kind of like a pier and beam but all concrete.
My problem is the back bedroom bathroom toilet keeps rising, we have had the pipes cut and re-flanged 4 times @$395 a pop and the same concern keeps coming back. It gets repaired every time but within 2 months its about an inch off the ground which makes the toilet useless as you can not sit on it.
I have used the company that installed all the plumbing to fix it 2 times and each time they tell me this should be the last time, I am starting to wonder if the toilet is not a symptom of something wrong under the home. We had a pipe on the other side of the home in back burst and dump our washing machine water under the slab. That pipe was sheered off at the elbow. Instead of digging out the entire side yard to tunnel to the pipes I wanted to see if anyone has run across this, or has had the problem personally.
