DO YOU NEED HOUSE LEVELLING – OR DRAINAGE FIRST?

We get asked this all the time, and the answer may save you thousands. In many cases, excess groundwater, poor drainage, and saturated soil are contributing to the movement beneath your home. Identifying and addressing the water issue FIRST can help ensure you're not fixing the symptom while leaving the cause behind. The sooner the source is identified, the better your chances of preventing costly repairs.

Before You Book House Levelling, Check If Drainage Is Causing the Movement

NOTICING CRACKS? UNEVEN FLOORS OR DOORS? FOUNDATION MOVEMENT CAN WORSEN OVER TIME

Water collecting around your home, damp internal walls, mouldy smells, or a garage that floods after rain are all indicators that excess water isn't being properly managed. Left untreated, these issues can lead to ongoing property damage.

Experiencing Cracks, Foundation Movement or Uneven Floors?

The issue may not be your foundations alone. Excess water beneath and around your home can lead to saturated soil, hydrostatic pressure, erosion, and ongoing structural movement.
