Recognising foundation movement in your house

Spotting early signs protects your home and saves cost. You can often see small clues before a problem becomes serious. We explain clear, practical signs to watch and what to do next.

Cracks, sticking doors and uneven floors to watch for

Look for diagonal cracks near window heads and door frames. These often reflect differential foundation settlement and may indicate subsidence.

Doors that rub or won’t latch, and times when doors windows stick, show racking from movement. Windows that bind or windows stick with seasonal change can signal problems under the slab or footings.

Note uneven floors, soft spots or sudden slope in floors. Gaps between walls and ceilings or skirting pulling away often follow localised movement.

• Hairline cracks can be cosmetic; widening cracks usually point to deeper issues.
• External stepping cracks in bricks and internal plaster fissures are common walls indicators.
• Photograph any changes and report new or growing signs quickly.

Early assessment is safer and cheaper. If you are unsure, call 1300 970 930 for a free preliminary assessment and clear next steps.

Why Western Sydney properties subside

Seasonal wet‑dry cycles in local soils are a common cause of progressive settlement at footings. Reactive clay soils shrink in dry spells and swell after rain. This changes support under the foundation and drives movement.

Reactive clay soils, tree roots and moisture changes

Clay soils expand and contract with moisture. Footings lose uniform support when soil volume changes. That leads to differential settlement and visible damage to walls and floors.

Tree roots can draw moisture from soil near footings. Roots cause local drying and worsen uneven settlement at foundation edges.

Drainage issues, leaking services and nearby excavation

Poor drainage, broken stormwater lines and leaking plumbing add water to soil. Extra moisture causes swelling and may hide voids that later collapse.

Nearby excavation or poorly compacted infill reduces lateral support. This can speed subsidence and create new movement zones under your property.

• Reactive clay cycles drive repeated movement.
• Tree roots change moisture and cause local settlement.
• Leaks and poor grading worsen soil instability.

Early action helps. We assess moisture pathways, garden layout and pavement falls to design safe, compliant remediation that limits further damage. Book a site assessment to identify root causes and plan durable solutions.

Underpinning and foundation repair methods we recommend

Choose the right repair method to match soil risk, access and budget for lasting outcomes. We base every choice on engineering data, site access and the least disruptive path to permanent bearing capacity.

Concrete underpinning for long-term bearing capacity

Concrete works extend or enlarge footings to reach competent soil. This gives durable bearing and verifiable capacity.

Traditional concrete methods suit large loads and where deep, stable support is needed. Timelines vary from days to weeks depending on scope.

Resin injection for fast, low‑disruption ground improvement

Resin injection compacts soil and can re-level slabs quickly. Many residential stabilisations finish within hours with small drill holes and little excavation.

Multiple-depth injection (≈0.8–6.5 m) targets problem layers shown in reports. This reduces downtime and lets you return to normal use fast.

Screw piling where deeper, stable strata is required

Screw piles transfer loads to deeper, stable strata. They are ideal near fills, services or where confined access rules out heavy excavation.

This method provides immediate load path and is efficient for buildings needing deeper support without long disruptions.

When to combine methods for complex structures

Mixed soil profiles or irregular building geometry often need combination designs. We stage works to protect services and maintain safe support to the superstructure.

• Concrete underpinning — durable bearing to competent soil.
• Resin injection — fast, minimal excavation, re‑levelling.
• Screw piling — deeper load transfer where needed.
• Combination designs add resilience for complex problems.

We select the process from engineering reports, not a one‑size‑fits‑all pitch. Our building documentation includes calculations, drawings and site ITPs. You receive certification and photos of completed foundation repairs for your property.

Beyond the footing: complete structural remediation

A stable foundation is just the start; long‑term protection needs full structural care. We stabilise the foundation first, then complete walls and cracks repairs that last. This whole‑of‑structure approach prevents repeat movement and protects your property value.

Wall crack repairs and re‑levelling that last

We stitch cracks, replace damaged sections and match finishes so walls look and perform as intended. Re‑levelling corrects floor variances and aligns joinery once footing support is restored.

Subfloor ventilation to manage moisture in clay soils

Where soil moisture drives movement, improving drainage and airflow reduces ongoing effects. Subfloor ventilation and drainage upgrades help manage damp and cut future risk.

Retaining wall support to prevent lateral movement

We assess retaining structures and design supports to resist lateral loads and surcharge. Many solutions avoid heavy excavation by drilling small holes and backfilling with non‑shrink grout.

• Foundation stabilised first, then wall and cracks repairs.
• Re‑levelling using resin injection or densification where suitable.
• Subfloor ventilation and drainage upgrades to manage soil moisture.
• Designed retaining support to prevent lateral movement.
• Engineer‑reviewed specifications, staged finishing and dust control.
• Completion pack with photos and maintenance notes for your home.

We coordinate sequencing, protection and communication throughout works. For financing options and further details, see our financing options.
