From the 50’s to the 90’s yet these houses are still standing 30 to 70 years later?
This sort of sounds like the asbestos mitigation scam to force the replacement of public schools and other public buildings.
Good point there. If that concrete is so fragile, they should have collapsed already.
“Its structural behaviour differs significantly from traditional reinforced concrete.
Moreover, it is susceptible to structural failure when exposed to moisture. The bubbles can allow water to enter the material.
If that happens, any rebar reinforcing RAAC can also decay, rust and weaken.”
Ok. Vulnerable to moisture, and used in building construction in the UK. Not the ideal choice in structural materials.

The problem is the appraisers (professionals) are saying this I think and everyone listens to them
What can you do if you’re a homeowner in this situation?
They’re saying it’ll cost you X to get right which puts you under water...

SF. Macateer HS. I remember it well. Millions spent to clear asbestos. A lot of ‘jobs’ created with that one. A lotta money spent to ‘protect’ the children. None of them died as I know of.
