Concrete pads settling is anything but unusual, think of how often you've seen a cracked side walk or driveway. The solution to the problem is removing the current tile and re-setting it with an uncoupling membrane, the schluter products are fantastic quality. Pulling up the tile will be a nightmare, have fun.

Even in custom homes it's far more common for floors in Vancouver to be framed with joists, not structural concrete, at least thats the case with all the builders I work with and I specialize in extremely high end homes.
