Building Construction - Question and answers

I've built a small extension to my house with a concrete slab foundation, and now I'm noticing uneven settling and cracks in the floor after a few months. What steps should I take to address this issue?

Building Construction Problem Solving foundation-cracks

I followed standard procedures for the slab, including compacting the subgrade and using reinforcement mesh, but after heavy rainfall this season, the cracks have worsened. I'm concerned about long-term stability and potential water damage. What could I have missed during construction, and how can I fix it without tearing everything up?
