Residential Re-levelling

What is the purpose of House Re-levelling?

Re-levelling plays a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of a building. Here’s a summary of its purpose, causes, and benefits:

Purpose of Re-Levelling

  • To adjust or replace stumps or bearers to correct uneven floors.
  • To restore the building to its original position.
  • To strengthen weak or reactive soil to prevent future sinking.

 

Causes of Uneven Floors

When Re-Levelling is Needed

Soil Reactivity: Expansion and contraction of soil due to moisture changes.

Environmental Factors: Flooding, tree roots, or droughts affecting the ground stability.

Poor Building Practices: Substandard construction techniques or materials.

Timber Shrinkage: Deterioration or warping of wooden components in the sub-floor.

 

Residential Re-levelling

Issues Re-Levelling Can Prevent

Sloping Floors: Uneven walking surfaces that compromise safety and aesthetics.

Malfunctioning Doors and Windows: Misalignment caused by structural shifts.

Cracks in Plaster Walls: A common sign of uneven settling.

Loose or Bouncing Floors: Loss of stability and strength in the flooring system.

 

Comparison

Re-Levelling vs. Restumping

Re-Levelling: Focuses on correcting the alignment of existing stumps and structural components. It’s often a preliminary step before restumping.

Restumping: Involves completely removing deteriorated timber stumps and replacing them with durable materials like concrete, steel, or treated timber.

Re-levelling is essential for ensuring the longevity and safety of a building, particularly in areas with reactive soil or older structures with timber stumps.
