House Levelling in Stanmore
Heritage Homes. Reactive Soils. Reliable Structural Repairs.
Tucked between Newtown, Petersham and Enmore, Stanmore’s charm lies in its historic Federation homes, early 20th-century semis, and period terraces. But those same homes are often built on ageing timber stumps and unstable footings—and Stanmore’s reactive clay soils don’t help.
At Sydney House Levelling, we specialise in restoring safety, balance, and structural stability to homes across Stanmore. With over 20 years of hands-on experience and tailored solutions for tight-access blocks, heritage features, and mixed subfloor conditions, we help you stop the movement—before it gets worse.
Why Stanmore Homes Need House Levelling
If your home has started to slope, crack, or creak, you’re not alone. Many Stanmore properties sit on:
- Old timber or brick piers that rot, sink, or fail over time
- Reactive clay soils that shrink and swell with weather, causing foundations to shift
- Poor drainage, especially behind homes on sloped blocks
- Plumbing leaks or tree roots, which can erode soil under footings
If left untreated, this movement causes structural damage, costly repairs, and lost property value.
Common Signs Your Stanmore Home Is Shifting
- Internal or external cracks near windows, cornices, or doors
- Uneven or bouncy timber floors
- Doors that stick or swing open on their own
- Gaps between floors and skirting
- Sagging decks or verandahs
- Tiles cracking or lifting unexpectedly
🛠️ Homes near Salisbury Road and Percival Road, where footings are often shallow and older, are especially at risk.

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 Stanmore Homeowners
Can I live at home while the work’s happening?
Yes! Most of our repairs happen under the house or around the perimeter. We’ll let you know if there’s any temporary room access needed.
Will it damage my home’s heritage features?
Absolutely not. We use non-invasive, respectful methods for heritage and character homes—and always preserve original detail where possible.
Do I need council approval?
Usually no. Most house levelling is classified as repair work. If anything does require approval, we’ll handle the paperwork or guide you through it.
