House Levelling in Waverley
Historic Builds. Hilly Terrain. Reliable Foundation Repairs.
Waverley homes are full of character—from 19th-century terraces to Californian bungalows and post-war brick builds. But many were built on reactive clay, sloped blocks, or ageing timber piers—making them prone to foundation movement.
If you’ve noticed signs like sloping floors, cracked walls, or hard-to-close doors, it could be more than wear and tear. At Sydney House Levelling, we specialise in stabilising Waverley homes with tailored solutions backed by 20+ years of on-the-tools experience.
Why Waverley Homes Need Levelling
Waverley sits on a mix of reactive clay and sandstone, and its undulating terrain can place uneven pressure on footings. Combine that with decades-old construction methods—and even small soil shifts can cause major issues.
Common causes of foundation movement in Waverley:
- Reactive clay shrinking and swelling with rain/drought cycles
- Poor original subfloor ventilation or stormwater management
- Tree root intrusion near footings
- Ageing timber stumps or shallow piers under older homes
- Renovations that overloaded unsupported areas
The sooner it’s inspected, the easier (and cheaper) it is to fix.
Signs Your Waverley Home May Need Levelling
- Doors or windows sticking or misaligned
- Sloping, uneven, or bouncy floors
- Cracks in interior walls, ceilings, or external brickwork
- Visible movement or sagging in subfloor structures
- Gaps forming under skirting or between cornices and ceilings
- New drainage or plumbing issues from movement

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.

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.
