House Levelling in Summer Hill
Federation Foundations. Subtle Shifts. Smart Structural Solutions.
Tucked between Ashfield and Lewisham, Summer Hill is known for its beautiful Federation homes, wide verandahs, and leafy streets. But beneath the charm, many homes sit on ageing timber stumps, brick piers, or reactive clay soil—all of which can cause structural movement over time.
At Sydney House Levelling, we’ve helped homeowners across Summer Hill fix sloping floors, bouncy footboards, and cracked walls with proven, long-lasting foundation repair methods. Whether it’s re-stumping a weatherboard or underpinning a double-brick home, we tailor our solution to your home’s structure, age, and condition.
Why Summer Hill Homes Need Levelling
Homes in Summer Hill often suffer from gradual movement due to:
- Reactive clay soils that shrink and swell with Sydney’s weather
- Poor drainage or long-term plumbing leaks
- Ageing or rotting timber stumps under heritage homes
- Invasive tree roots compromising shallow footings
- Subfloor ventilation problems causing hidden decay
As these issues build up, they cause walls to crack, floors to tilt, and frames to distort. Addressing them early is key to avoiding larger and more expensive repairs down the track.
Common Signs of Foundation Movement in Summer Hill
- Cracks above windows or doors
- Sticking doors and misaligned windows
- Dips or slopes in timber floors
- Gaps between skirting boards and the floor
- Wobbly or spongy steps and decks
- Separation in architraves or tiles
Noticing these signs? Let’s take a look before it gets worse.

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.
