Hi


Does anyone know what a home owner can do about a driveway slab heaving at one end near garage . he says the porch steps is 4inches and


the slab is raising up on that end. house is 1 yr old and he thinks there is a code on this that the slab should all be even and not heaving. can he go back to the builder and have it fixed. why is this driveway starting to heave and bulge at this end . Also, does this cosmetic ceiling crack on this exterior porch look like a seam crack or just sttlement crack. the crack is pretty straight so i am thinking it is a seam that was not sealed properly.

Photos are too small to see much and form an opinion on.

Are there any trees close to the home/driveway?
