House Levelling in Rockdale
Mixed Foundations. Coastal Weather. Solid Structural Repair.
Rockdale is known for its blend of classic brick homes, post-war bungalows, and growing modern developments. But beneath these homes, reactive clay soil and inconsistent drainage can spell trouble for footings, piers, and subfloors—especially in areas affected by past land fill or nearby water tables.
At
Sydney House Levelling, we provide expert structural assessments, underpinning, re-stumping, and subfloor repairs tailored to the unique ground conditions of Rockdale. With 20+ years of experience, we help homeowners restore stability and protect their homes long-term.
What We Fix in Rockdale Homes
- Sloping or bouncing timber floors
- Step cracks in brickwork or render
- Gaps between floors and skirting
- Door or window frames that shift or jam
- Failing timber stumps, piers, or old footings

Signs Your Rockdale Property May Be Moving
- Uneven floors or sunken areas in corners of the home
- Cracks above windows or near external corners

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 Rockdale Homeowners
Is foundation movement common in Rockdale?
Yes. The mix of sandy and clay soils near the bay and historical infill areas increases the risk of settlement or soil shrinkage over time.
How much does re-stumping or underpinning cost?
Every home is different. After your inspection, we’ll provide a fixed quote with clear breakdowns—no hidden fees, no pressure.
Can you work on semi-detached or duplex properties?
Absolutely. We specialise in terrace-style homes and narrow-access properties common in Rockdale and surrounding areas.
