What is causing the buckling?
That is your first concern.
There have been many reports of settling issues in the newer developments.
We had a big Magnolia out back causing an issue in the bedroom. Gone
Also had an ugly Oak out front, As soon as I saw the front walk being lifted by a 1/4", good bye Oak tree. Those trees are too big and are always within a distance where they can fall on the house.
My insurance (State Farm) does not cover trees falling on and damage to the house. They will pay to have the tree removed. Not the house. Their words.
Easiest Solution.... NO TREES.
Also know that this is not real concrete, it is called Coquina. A mixture of cement, clam shells and Coral, horrible matrix as over time the shells become dessicated and they become dust. Then you have voids all over the place.
Take a ride and look at how many houses have driveways with huge cracks.
Go on the internet and look up Foundation repair, a company called RAM Jack is all over this area. For settling they will drill a 3/4" hole thru the concrete, and then they inject concrete under high pressure to lift the slab back up. They have been lifting the slabs at the mail box areas, just look for the row of white dots around the building.
