How do I hide and repair cracks in my floor?

by Donna

Answered

Newer house. Badly cracked with very small cracks. Huge area. Handiman filled in cracks and did a horrible job overlapping all cracks by 6 inches. I know I can sand down the overlapping. Epoxy entire floor the only answer so you cannot see cracks?

Define "newer" house. Less than 10 years? What type of flooring? Is this slab cracks?

  Ok, I see from this thread that it is a concrete floor in a basement. Pull out your purchase papers. In many states, the builder can be responsible for any "construction defects" for up to 10 years. A photo or two would help. I would send a certified letter to the builder stating your claim. Copy the builders insurance company, your mortgage holder, realtor, homeowners insurance company and any agency that was in the chain of the home purchase. Hopefully they will respond in kind and remedy with little to no fuss. If they don't, you have a legal right to go after the builder. If it goes that far, you need an attorney that specializes in construction defect. An average run of the mill attorney will not have the expertise to handle this type of case. Very complex and involved.

How long ago where these floors poured? Have you contacted the business that poured these to see if they would cover them? Have you told the handyperson that did the patching that the work wasn't satisfactory?

How long ago were the floors originally poured? Have you contacted that business? If it isn't covered perhaps they have had this problem before?
