Jinxed Garage?

Can someone help... I believe my 3 bay garage is totally jinxed. My husband was taken ill during the build. It was raised to the ground by fire and new walls and roof were then built. Now, 5 years later each bay concrete slab has been lifted, due to water getting underneath and destroying the *********, the insurance sent builders out to lift the floors and lay new concrete slabs. the top of each slab went like powder and they then coated it with some kind of rubbery solution saying this would soak through and bond the floors solid. this didn't happen and they then brought out a machine which scraped away about half an inch off the top of the floors and they laid what they called a granite screed. about half an inch thick which promptly bubbled up in places. they have suggested digging out all the bubbles and refilling them adding another bonding agent. they are due up this thursday, 11th june to inspect and give me an idea of what's gone wrong again. only because the insurers won't pay out until the jobs complete keeps them coming back but i'm fed up with it all. i'm sure the garage is built on some ancient burial ground. anyone help with advice.

Hire your local shaman (shamans are intermediaries between the human and spirit worlds).

Then dig up and replace the slabs.

Have the insurance send out compitant concrete people that will tear it out and install new floors with the proper drainage and be done with it.

I do concrete restoration design and Im a bit confused with what they are doing from your post, I think they are trying to do an overlay on the existing slab to level it out but I that is just going to be a band-aid and the bubbles probably occurred do to excessive moisture in the concrete.
The drainage issues need to be addressed then full replacement of the concrete slab has to be done in order to do it right.
