Looking at lakefront property that we know is in the flood plain. The
small house was built in 1955 out of cinder blocks. The realtor says
this happens every 4-5 years. Most of value is in the lot but my
question is about the 12x12 ceramic tiles that are buckling. Would
this likely be due to slab shrinking and swelling because of the
water?

Thanks,

Or a sink hole?

Under the slab? It's very rocky so I think it would be unlikely but
we're going to get an inspection done regardless.

Thanks!

It's unlikely tiles will "buckle" however the underlayment is likely the
problem. Likely those tiles are not on concrete but something more prone
to shrinking and swelling.
