Underpinning Port Adelaide
Quality Underpinning Services Port Adelaide
We are the leading experts in underpinning servicing Port Adelaide and the nearby suburbs of Glanville, Rosewater, and Alberton. We are local underpinning Port Adelaide experts at ensuring your place sits properly with no cracks or dips opening up.
Our underpinning crew handles the process straightforwardly, from soil testing and permits to equipment like small excavators for careful digging under existing structures. We re-support beams and bearers using new, durable steel or concrete posts properly sized for your site’s conditions.
Our Range Of Services
Restumping and Reblocking
If the old stumps and bearers under your place are worn out, we replace them entirely. Our carpenters prop the home up securely. Then, we replace the deteriorated sections with new pine or steel posts ideal for your soil. We level everything by hand precisely so your floors end up perfectly smooth. Then, we neatly put it all back to keep things solid for decades without issue.
Underpinning
When the soil shifts and foundations sink unevenly, we stabilise them via underpinning. First, we safely reinforce the beams. Then, our team digs down next to the problematic spots and installs new concrete or steel pillars that are properly engineered for your home’s weight and soil conditions. We extend your perimeter beam onto the new pillars to make your foundations rock solid again. We’ve mastered precise work after years of assisting Port Adelaide homes and businesses.
Foundation Crack Repairs
Small cracks in walls and floors can lead to larger foundation problems if unattended. We evaluate the root cause and then develop custom repairs. We often inject high-strength epoxy to bind cracked sections back together. Or we install fibreglass ties underneath to reinforce the foundation structurally.
Foundation Waterproofing
We diagnose why moisture and leaks affect your foundations and then tackle the source. Common solutions involve sealing cracks, installing agricultural pipes to divert water away, or applying professional waterproof coatings. Whatever the best approach, we replace damp material with clean fill like gravel and sand, enabling the area to breathe properly so mould and decay-accelerating contaminants don’t take hold.

Benefits of Underpinning Port Adelaide
Stabilises Foundations
Expert underpinning stabilises foundations showing sinking or unevenness, stopping further movement in its tracks. We install new reinforced concrete or steel posts under sagging sections of the floor to provide solid, reliable support again. This prevents existing posts and floor joists from cracking under excess load. It means your entire foundation remains sound.
Levels Floors
Quality underpinning works wonders, levelling floors that slope noticeably. Adjusting the support posts’ height carefully evens everything out beautifully. With smooth, flat floors again, you can fully utilise rooms without worrying about trip hazards or furniture sliding about. No more awkward floor levels between rooms either. We make the internal floors feel seamless.
Lifting Sunken Slabs
Over time, exterior slabs can crack, settle and sink into the ground. We fix sunken slabs by raising them to the proper height and relaying them securely. We dig out the old gravel bedding for slabs with extensive subsidence underneath and replace it with a compacted road base topped with quality crushed rock to infill before relaying the slab. We restore exterior slabs to structural soundness.
Prevents Cracking
By re-levelling home foundations and addressing local subsidence firmly through added supports, underpinning helps prevent new cracks inside or outside from opening up. Eliminating imbalance removes the stress and load pressure that causes minor cracks to spread rapidly across walls and ceilings. Underpinning keeps things intact.
