House Levelling in Surry Hills
Heritage-Ready Structural Repairs That Keep Your Home Standing Strong
Noticed new cracks in the walls? Floors sloping more than they used to? If you live in Surry Hills, these can be signs your home’s foundation is moving. We specialise in house levelling across Sydney’s inner suburbs—including heritage terraces, classic workers' cottages, and compact developments in Surry Hills.
With 20+ years of experience, we help homeowners stabilise their homes before small problems become serious damage.
What Is House Levelling, and Why It Matters in Surry Hills
House levelling corrects a structure that’s shifted or settled over time. In character suburbs like Surry Hills, many older homes were built on timber stumps or brick piers—structures that naturally weaken with age, soil movement, or moisture.
Common causes in Surry Hills include:
- Failing timber supports or original brick piers under older homes
- Vibrations from nearby construction or traffic
- Reactive clay or unstable fill from past developments
- Plumbing leaks or subfloor moisture damage
- Infill developments with mixed foundations or access issues
We assess, diagnose, and repair movement using safe, targeted methods that protect both the structure and the history of your home.
Signs Your Surry Hills Home Might Need Levelling
Don’t wait for damage to spread. Here’s what to look for:
- Sloping or uneven floors—especially in older terraces
- Cracked plaster, cornices, or internal walls
- Windows and doors that suddenly start sticking
- Cracks between bricks or along tiled floors
- Gaps at skirting boards or ceiling junctions
- Bouncy or noisy floorboards
Surry Hills is filled with 19th and early 20th-century homes—many still sitting on their original footings. Movement is common but treatable with the right solution.

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.
