The Hidden Danger (Sulphate Attack & Heave)
Is your floor growing?
Many homes built between the 1940s and 1970s used colliery shale as a sub-floor filler. When this material gets damp, it undergoes a chemical reaction called “Sulphate Attack.” This causes the shale to expand (heave), literally pushing your concrete floors upward. This leads to unsightly floor bulges, cracked walls, and doors that no longer shut.
