House Levelling in Leichhardt

Terrace Charm. Clay Soil Shifts. Structural Peace of Mind.

Leichhardt’s classic terrace rows and freestanding Federation homes bring plenty of character—but they also bring common issues like uneven floors, cracked walls, and tired timber stumps. Built on reactive soils and ageing subfloors, many homes in the area are at high risk of structural movement.


At Sydney House Levelling, we specialise in structural repairs tailored to Leichhardt’s unique conditions. With over 20 years of experience working in the Inner West, we offer honest advice, smart solutions, and long-lasting results—so your home stays stable for decades to come.

Why Leichhardt Homes Need Levelling


Homes in Leichhardt are typically built on soil that expands and contracts with the weather, which can shift your home’s foundations over time. Combine that with:


  • Ageing timber stumps or brick piers
  • Poor subfloor drainage or ventilation
  • Plumbing leaks under the home
  • Dense planting and tree roots near footings



…and you’ve got the perfect storm for sloping floors, cracks, and costly movement—unless it’s addressed early.

Signs Your Leichhardt Home Might Be Moving

  • Cracks in internal plaster or exterior brickwork
  • Sloping or uneven floorboards
  • Doors and windows that stick or don’t close properly
  • Visible gaps between skirting and floor
  • Bouncy, creaky, or "soft" areas in the floor
  • Sagging verandahs or uneven footpaths



🎯 If your home is near Norton Street, Balmain Road, or Marion Street—you’re in the heart of a high-movement zone. Let’s check it out.

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.

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.





Not sure what’s causing movement in your home? We offer professional foundation inspections to identify the issue. Our team provides a clear, jargon-free report with real advice and no pressure.
