Howdy all. I’m looking for some advice on re-securing a safe. It was originally bolted into the concrete slab when it was installed by the safe company.
After a flooding situation a contractor removed the safe and left the plastic sleeve that held the bolt. A different contractor apparently tossed that sleeve and installed new LVP flooring right over the hole in the slab. Being stressed out over the process I didn’t notice until all was done.
Now my question is, are there any tricks to locating the hole for the bolt without tearing up my new flooring?
The location of the safe was perfect and I prefer not to move it. I also don’t want to end up with another hole overlapping the old one which is very possible given the tight fit of the safe.
Is there a good alternative to securing the safe? Or should I fight with my insurance to get a safe company back out to fix the situation? Technically they should cover but not sure I want to draw attention and go through the headache either.
Comments, recommendations please!
