My tub fiberglass tub cracked, and it was due to there being no support underneath it. I got a reputable company to come out and fix it, so prior to layering it with more fiberglass - they drilled holes and inserted expanding foam for support.
Well, the foam expanded so much it broke through the downstairs neighbors ceiling. The company came and took pics, and said it was not completely their fault, since there is no "subfloor" present. When I looked for myself, there wasn't anything in between my floor and their ceiling, so it's no wonder that foam broke through.
I called my HOA, and they said they'd call their lawyer and have someone come out and take a look. They said that sometimes there isn't a subfloor because subfloor is made out of cheap material that sometimes corrodes.
Even though I know squat about building codes and just general home construction, I find it hard to believe that there is nothing between my floor and their ceiling. Of course I will get it fixed if I must, but I would like someone to point me in the right direction.
Any thoughts?
