Hi, I would like to have an advice regarding issue we are facing. We have recently bought this house 3 years old, load bearing wall separating lounge and room there is passage. Both sides of wall there are multiple bulging showing up. Would you please advise what could cause this and any recommendations for solutions would be much appreciated. 

Thank You

Re: bulging near load bearing wall both sides

Good Evening @patni209 

I couldnt see any leaks in my roofing either, then after seeing drops form I knew I really should have a second look and a third. I still have not tracked down where the drips are coming from. (pretty much that sometimes it takes someone who deals with these issues to know what the small signs are)

 

As to suggestions about finding a builder, here are a few that I have used.

 

Ask workmates, ask friends who they have used. Best way to find someone decent as your friends will give you theier opinon for sure :smile:

Jump into the big blue social medial F pages, Search withing F pages and all of a suddern your newsfeed will be filled with builders, especially from your local area. I use the algorithum for my own benifits :smile:

Once you find one either on recomendations or in facebook land, have a look at their jobs/photos. I know they will only post the better ones but still its a way to see how decent they are.

 

Doing the above will find you someone local, prob not the cheapest but definently someone you have seen their work. I think its a wise move to have a "builder", a "sparky". a "plumber", and a "carpenter" in your list of tradie mates :smile: Treat them right on their first job, give a hand if they let you and at the very least they will remember you for the next thing you have. I have a carpenter/builder mate and a plumber mate, both Ive met through work contacts :smile:
