I took off my floor board in my kitchen and I uncovered a big hole/
crack in the middle of kitchen floor. They are a couple poles in the
floor part on the concrete flooring. Is this something to worry about?
How can I fix the hole in the floor? Will cement be appropriate? If so
what type of cement is appropriate for a floor? What the procedure for
fixing the problem.?


Additional Details


1) Is it a concrete floor that you are worried about? Yes partially.

2) Is it a hole or a crack? A hole

3) Is the kitchen on a ground floor with a solid floor underneath or
on a higher floor with rooms underneath? The kitchen is on a ground
floor with a solid floor underneath.

If the hole's an inch or more across & deep, a 3:1 sand:cement
mix should fill it fine. Much smaller hole and the mix may break up.

(DPC) is damaged. the DPC is in form of plastic. can you please give

Is the hole causing any problems, i.e. why are you wanting to fix it?

stick a plastic bag and some silicone in the bottom, and fill it with
sand and cement.
