House Levelling in Ashfield
Federation Foundations. Mixed Soils. Structural Repairs That Last.
From early 1900s Federation bungalows to mid-century brick builds and newer duplexes, Ashfield homes are built on a diverse mix of foundations. That means movement is common—especially with ageing piers, reactive soils, and underground moisture from poor drainage.
At
Sydney House Levelling, we’ve helped homeowners across Ashfield restore safety and stability to their homes. With 20+ years of structural repair experience, we provide tailored, long-term house levelling solutions designed for the unique soil and building conditions of this vibrant Inner West suburb.
Why Ashfield Homes Need House Levelling
Ashfield’s wide streets and mix of heritage and modern homes come with their own structural quirks. Many sit on:
- Old timber stumps or brick piers that have settled unevenly or begun to fail
- Reactive clay soils, which expand in wet weather and shrink during dry spells—causing subsidence
- Poor stormwater management leading to soil erosion under homes
- Plumbing leaks or tree roots disturbing footings, particularly in older blocks
House levelling re-supports, lifts, and secures the foundation—stopping cracks, sloping floors, and frame distortion before they become costly to repair.
Signs Your Ashfield Property Might Be Sinking
Movement often starts small, so keep an eye out for:
- Cracks in interior or exterior walls (especially near windows and door frames)
- Uneven or bouncy floors
- Doors or windows that won’t shut properly
- Gaps between walls and skirting boards
- Sagging verandahs or visible movement in subfloor areas
Older Federation-style homes between Queen Street and Alt Street are especially prone to movement due to original timber stumps and shallow footings.

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 Ashfield Homeowners
Do I need council approval for house levelling?
Generally not—house levelling is considered maintenance. For larger jobs involving structural changes or heritage protections, we’ll guide you through the process if approval is needed.
Will the work damage my home’s character features?
No. We take great care with Federation and heritage homes. Our levelling work happens under the house and is designed to protect your property’s appearance and structure.
Is it safe to stay home during repairs?
Yes. Most repairs are completed from below the house. If temporary room access or support is needed, we’ll let you know upfront.
