Underpinning Bayside

Our certified team delivers engineered foundation solutions tailored for coastal Melbourne homes. We design work to stop movement and restore structural stability with minimal disruption.

Concrete underpinning for long-term structural stability

Concrete methods strengthen footings under brick walls to halt cracking and settlement. This concrete approach protects the structure and reduces future movement.

Resin injection and geopolymer soil stabilisation

Geopolymer injection compacts weak soil and can raise foundations gently. It shortens programs and keeps spaces usable during repairs.

Screw piling for reactive or weak soil conditions

Screw piles transfer loads to deeper ground in reactive clays. They are a fast, durable option when surface soil cannot support the load.

Restumping, reblocking and wall crack repairs

Restumping and reblocking relevel floors by replacing failing stumps and improving load transfer. We repair walls by stitching cracks, repointing brickwork and refinishing plaster.

  • Engineered stages protect your home at every step.
  • We provide VBA‑compliant reports and a fixed‑price quote.
  • Drainage and subfloor services support durable repairs and stable foundations.

FAQ

What foundation repair services do you offer in the Bayside suburbs?

We provide concrete underpinning for long-term stability, resin injection and geopolymer soil stabilisation as a low‑disruption option, screw piling for reactive or weak soils, restumping and reblocking to relevel homes, wall crack repairs, drainage and subfloor correction, plus structural engineering reports and VBA‑compliant certification.

Which suburbs in the Bayside area do you service?

We service Brighton, Hampton, Black Rock, Moorabbin, Cheltenham, Mentone, Mordialloc and Carrum Downs. Our teams are local, so we understand Melbourne soil types and council requirements in each suburb.

How do you determine which method is right for my house?

We start with a free no‑obligation structural assessment and photo review. A qualified engineer diagnoses the issue, recommends a tailored scope, and provides a fixed‑price quote based on soil, structure and access conditions.

Are your repairs compliant with Victorian regulations?

Yes. We use council‑compliant methods, hold VBA registration and maintain public liability and works insurance. Every project includes engineering documentation and certification where required.

How long will the repair work take and how disruptive is it?

Timelines vary by method. Resin stabilisation and screw piling are faster and cause less disruption, while concrete underpinning and restumping take longer. We plan works to minimise disturbance and keep the site tidy, with clear daily communication.

Will you replace failing stumps or just lift the house?

We can do both. For restumping and reblocking we replace failing stumps and relevel the home using concrete or screw pile stumps, depending on soil conditions and the engineer’s design.

How do you address wall cracks and internal damage?

We assess cracks as part of the structural diagnosis. Repairs may include brickwork stitching, repointing, plaster repair and stabilising the foundation beneath to prevent recurrence.

Can you work on weatherboard and brick veneer homes as well as double‑brick houses?

Yes. We regularly work on weatherboard, brick veneer and double‑brick homes, units and townhouses across the Bayside area, tailoring techniques to each construction type.

Do you provide a warranty for your foundation repair work?

We offer warranties on workmanship and materials. Specific terms depend on the chosen solution and the engineer’s design. Details are included in your fixed‑price quote and contract.

How soon can you start after I accept a quote?

We aim for fast scheduling. Once you accept the fixed‑price quote and approvals are in place, we typically book works within days to a few weeks, depending on workload and council requirements.

Will your repairs increase my property value or insurance compliance?

Yes. Permanent, engineered solutions restore structural safety and often improve marketability. We provide VBA‑compliant reports and certification to support insurance and sale processes.

How do you manage unexpected problems found during work?

Our teams are experienced and prepare for common site surprises. If unexpected issues arise, we consult the engineer and you before proceeding, provide a revised scope and cost, and document all changes for transparency.
