How severe can the damages be?
A moving slab can cause structural damage as well as flatwork damage. It can cause plumbing leaks (generating bacterial issues when it is a black water leak) and allow environmental water interdictions leading to mold colonizations and termite infestations. Building and floor slabs are most often affected by soil expansion from the outside. As soils around the edge of the structure become wet, they heave relative to the middle of the structure.
