I've just bought a house extraordinarily near the deep-sea in headland town. I had a structural survey done earlier buying - survey said the house was fine. It's built near breeze blocks, 2 stories, flat roof, with timber floors (ceiling) supported on Gum Poles. The house is 10 yrs infirm. I don't think that the house is structurally nouns and I want to know what Gum poles are. I drilled into one pole to hang a hurricane lantern, and the drill went surrounded by as easily as drilling into sawdust. One wall is in fact only supported by 1 gum pole, and which have a crack on both sides of the wall. The crack continues across the floor which is a cement screed floor. I really need some "constructive" direction please. Thanks all
Answers: gum poles are the replacement for treated poles used contained by ground level construction within sea or wet areas after the EPA came roughly speaking.
You should have more close to 9 for a home of any size bigger then a garage on the the deep. Does this place also have concrete foundation after?
I can't check it out over the PC, so got any pictures you could dispatch me?
crack in the floor is run of the mill with concrete. At 10 years dated you should be able to step to the court house and find a record of the building licence and see if a engineer be used and call them if you hold concerns also.
