House Levelling in Dulwich Hill
Federation Foundations. Sloping Blocks. Inner West Structural Know-How.
Dulwich Hill is full of beautiful Federation cottages, Californian bungalows, and semi-detached homes—many built 80 to 100 years ago on ageing footings and reactive clay soil. Over time, these conditions lead to foundation movement, causing cracks, sloping floors, and other serious issues.
At Sydney House Levelling, we specialise in structural repairs and house relevelling for Dulwich Hill homes. Whether it’s a quiet tree-lined street or a tight-access block near the light rail, we’ve got the experience, tools, and skills to bring your home back to solid ground—safely and permanently.
Why Dulwich Hill Homes Need Relevelling
Many properties in Dulwich Hill are at high risk of foundation issues due to:
- Expansive clay soil that shrinks in dry weather and swells when wet
- Timber stumps or brick piers deteriorating with age, termites, or moisture
- Old subfloor structures not built to today’s standards
- Plumbing leaks, poor drainage, or invasive tree roots undermining the footings
These issues are common across the Inner West—and they get worse (and more expensive) the longer they’re left unchecked.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Cracks in walls (especially near windows and doors)
- Uneven, bouncy, or sloping floors
- Sticking or misaligned doors
- Gaps between the skirting board and floor
- Decks or verandahs pulling away from the house
- Creaking or soft timber floorboards
If you’re in a Federation or weatherboard home on streets like Constitution Road, Wardell Road, or Denison Road—you’re more likely to be affected.

House Relevelling Specialists
Old or damaged timber stumps can shift over time, causing floors to dip and frames to twist. We remove failing stumps and install strong, modern replacements—ensuring your home is safely supported and structurally sound for decades to come.
Re-Stumping
When foundations are no longer strong enough to support your home, underpinning adds the reinforcement needed to stabilise and secure your property. We use engineered solutions to extend your footing into stable soil and stop further movement.
Underpinning
For lighter structures or concrete slabs, resin injection is a fast, non-invasive way to stabilise sunken ground. This method lifts and strengthens foundations by injecting an expanding resin that fills gaps under the home—ideal for driveways, patios, and parts of the house affected by soft or shifting soil.
Resin Injection
Foundation Repair Services
We inspect, repair, and upgrade the beams, bearers, and joists under your home to make sure everything’s structurally sound. If you’ve noticed bouncy or noisy floors, it might be time to look beneath the surface.
Sub-Floor Works
Ventilation
Moisture trapped under your home can lead to mould, timber decay, and structural problems. We install smart sub-floor ventilation systems that keep air moving and dampness out—helping protect your investment.

FAQs for Dulwich Hill Homeowners
Can you work with limited subfloor access?
Yes—we regularly work under homes with tight clearance and difficult layouts. Our tools and team are experienced in navigating tight subfloor spaces common in Dulwich Hill.
Will your work affect the appearance of my home?
Not at all. Our team takes care to preserve decorative and heritage elements. We work beneath the home wherever possible, and any exposed repairs are blended with the existing structure.
Do I need council approval?
In most cases, no. Structural repairs and relevelling work fall under maintenance. If council permits or engineer approvals are needed, we’ll guide you through the process.
