A MARBLE & TILE CO CAN RE FINISH IT BUT IT WILL COST AS MUCH AS NEW.

just wondering if anyone has put heat mats etc under bath and kitchen ceramic tile.

I have spent alot of time in attics and crawl spaces during my cable installing days and have been a foundations engineer for the past 4 years, so I feel comfortable evaluating the structure.

They also have install prices (although they are much higher than you can get by hiring outside of Lowes/HD).

Leave the tile alone.

They will dig a hole along the perimeter of your house where needed and jack the slab up to install a pier that will essentially level out your foundation.Like others have mentioned, foundation issues are very common in texas (at least 7 out of 10 houses I sold in Houston had foundation issues) but it can almost always be corrected.For rental properties, many investors don't even bother with minor foundation issues.$125-175/pier is the cost for repair.

I was looking at a prospective home when the realtor told me the ceiling and floor tiles in the basement look like they have asbestos.
