fixing sinking floors sydney: what it means for your home’s structure
Uneven or bouncy surfaces rarely start as cosmetic faults. They show how load transfers to the foundation and reveal the building’s true condition.
We identify whether the issue is an isolated slab settlement, failing piers under a suspended floor, or wider strip footing movement. Diagnosis separates slab behaviour from wall movement so we target the real cause.
Our role is to preserve structure and restore safety through engineered remediation. We do not offer short-term patches. Every plan is engineering-backed, council-compliant and certified on completion.
- Uneven surfaces often mean load isn’t transferring correctly to the foundation.
- We check if a slab-on-ground, infill slab or suspended system is affected.
- Level mapping, wall and crack inspections, plus door and window checks, pinpoint movement patterns.
- We monitor to tell if subsidence is active or historic and find moisture or plumbing drivers.
- Then we match the remediation to the mechanism for lasting stability and serviceability.
We restore structural safety, not just appearances. You receive a clear engineering plan that protects your home and maintains long-term stability.
Clear signs your floors and foundations need attention
Early signs of structural movement are often subtle, but they tell a clear story about your home’s condition. We help you read those signs calmly and prioritise safety. We will explain what can wait and what can’t.

Uneven or bouncy floors, cracked walls, sticking doors and windows
Small changes can point to active problems. Uneven or bouncy floors suggest changing support under the floor system. Doors and windows that stick usually match areas of differential settlement.
Gaps, sinking concrete slabs, sloping rooms and widening cracks
- Stepped cracks through brickwork or widening cracks show active movement.
- Gaps under skirtings or between benchtops and walls are early clues.
- A marble rolling or toys gathering at one wall reveals a slope and level change.
- Sinking concrete around the house points to soil loss or softening.
- Recurrent plaster repairs that reopen usually mean ongoing movement, not paint.
We measure and monitor to separate seasonal change from structural failure. If you see these signs, book a free assessment and a foundation failure review.
Why floors sink in Sydney: soil, moisture and load factors
Understanding soil behaviour explains why parts of a property drop or heave over time. We describe common causes so you can act decisively.
Reactive clays, leaks and poor drainage causing subsidence
Reactive clay belts around Sydney swell when wet and shrink when dry. That cycle stresses foundations and causes uneven movement.
Leaking pipes and poor drainage wash fines from under concrete slabs and soften the bearing ground. That leads to local subsidence and visible cracks.
Trees, nearby excavation and added extensions increasing movement
Trees draw moisture and can cause clay to shrink. Roots also disturb the bearing layer and create voids.
Excavation next door removes lateral support. Added rooms or upper levels can overload weak ground and trigger settling.
Slab-on-ground vs suspended floors: different failure mechanisms
Slab systems often settle differentially; infill slabs may move independently of perimeter walls. Suspended timber floors suffer pier or stump movement instead.
- Prevention: check plumbing and improve drainage.
- Control: manage trees and plan loads before adding rooms.
| Cause | Mechanism | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Reactive clay | Swelling/shrinkage changes support | Soil moisture mapping, season monitoring |
| Leaks & poor drainage | Loss or softening of bearing ground | Plumbing inspection, surface drainage upgrades |
| Trees & roots | Moisture drawdown and root disturbance | Root barriers, controlled watering, arborist advice |
| Added loads / excavation | Overloading or loss of lateral support | Engineering review before works |
We design fixes that address both cause and consequence to reduce recurrence of these problems.
Our stabilisation methods tailored to Sydney conditions
We match each property to a stabilisation method that suits local soils, access and load. That ensures a durable, engineered outcome and minimal disruption to your home.
Concrete underpinning for long-term load transfer
Concrete underpinning casts new footings beneath the existing foundation to transfer load to firmer ground.
It suits heavy walls and masonry where long-term load transfer is critical. Works are engineered and council‑compliant with certification on completion.
Resin injection to densify soils and re-level slabs with minimal disruption
Resin injection uses small injection points to fill voids and compact weak soils beneath concrete slabs.
Laser monitoring controls lift and keeps the job precise. The resin cures fast, so areas can often be used soon after works finish.
Screw piling for deep, reliable capacity where soils are weak
Screw piles are steel piles that reach stable strata when near‑surface ground is poor.
They are ideal near services or boundaries where excavation is limited. We often blend methods across a property for the best result.
- All works are engineered, council‑compliant and documented for your records.
- We prioritise minimal disruption and clear communication during the job.
- These solutions restore stability to foundations and protect your floor system long term.
Complementary repairs that restore function and finish
With structural stability in place, we deliver measured repairs that bring your property back to use.

Wall crack repairs and re-levelling for doors and windows
Many cracks close once the structure is stabilised. Where they remain, we carry out targeted wall repair so cosmetic splits do not re-open.
We re-level doors and windows so they open and close smoothly. We align skirtings, benchtops and joinery after work finishes.
Subfloor ventilation and retaining wall support to prevent recurrence
Controlling moisture stops the cycle that causes movement. We add or upgrade subfloor ventilation under timber floor systems to manage damp and reduce soil change.
Where soil pressure has contributed to movement, we design retaining wall support and local grouting to restore bearing. You select only the services you need.
- We re‑level doors and windows for reliable operation.
- We repair wall cracks after stabilisation to avoid re‑opening.
- We improve subfloor ventilation to control moisture under the floor.
- We support retaining walls and grout local voids to restore bearing.
- We coordinate trades to finish efficiently and neatly.
We document before and after levels for your records and give clear care guidance so the repair results last. Our team only recommends what your house needs.

We explain how soil, access and footprint shape the job duration and cost. You get a clear, fixed‑price quote and a simple schedule before we start.
Minimal disruption solutions with fast curing and immediate re-use where suitable
Resin injection jobs often finish within hours. The resin cures quickly so many areas return to use on the same day.
Underpinning and piling take longer. Excavation and concrete curing add to the time on site for larger projects.
- We outline expected time for each area and any staged works.
- We protect gardens, tidy daily and limit noise where possible.
- You see level readings before, during and after the process.
- We clarify contingencies and access needs up front.
| Method | Typical on‑site time | Budget guide (residential) |
|---|---|---|
| Resin injection | Hours to one day | $4,000–$15,000 |
| Concrete underpinning | Days to weeks | $8,000–$30,000+ |
| Screw piling | Days | $10,000–$40,000+ |
We sequence works to control movement and protect your house. Our process includes level surveys, documented results and a council‑compliant certificate on completion.
