Thank you Les & Team for a job well done! Our project was large and complicated,
but everything went smoothly and efficiently. Your recommendations to fix our stormwater .
jojot2022-10-17Les solved the problem when no one else could. He is a master at seeing where drainage/pumps etc needs to be and installs quickly and professionally. No question is too small for him. Lisa is fantastic in the office - quick to reply and has a fantastic memory! Highly recommend Les.Roger Pockley2021-06-01I engaged Adept Underpinning to excavate and underpin an area under my house that was suffering from water damage and not usable from a footprint point of view. Les was amazing, great communication along every point of the job, and an end result that has given me an extra 28sqm of usable floor space that now has no water issues - the recent storms in Sydney proved that this area can handle lots of water with no damage or concern. Les is one of the hardest workers I have met, he cared about the job and treated my place like his own. I am extremely happy.Michelle Shetab2021-03-03Les is a true professional and knows what he is talking about. Lisa is also vey professional to deal with. Thank you so much to you both.Laura2020-10-19Les helped to underpin the front wall on my 150 year old terrace house in Newtown which is built on soft clay and was moving. He explained everything in a lot of detail, which gave me a lot of confidence in what he was doing. The underpinning has been a success with the cracking now stopped and the house seems to have settled. After some cosmetic work on the wall, you wouldn't know it had been done at all. Thanks to Les who was a great help during a stressful time, and for saving my house!

Residential repairs & construction services
As foundation repair specialists, Adept provides remedial Residential Services from the Central Coast and the suburbs of Sydney.
Adept’s services include residential foundation repairs, specialising in home underpinning – repairs that are often needed, due to a variety of reasons.
• Residential building construction
• Residential extensions
The need for foundation repairs following residential construction, generally occurs because of subsidence that can happen for a multitude of reasons: inadequate drainage, no drainage, leaking pipes, torrential rain, adjacent developments, tree roots and simply because it’s an older construction. These problems can also occur following foundation excavations or foundation extensions. Read Adept’s Drainage Solutions
To solve these problems occurring, example new homes constructions in Australia only use solid concrete for laying foundations and piers. So unlike other contractors, we only use SOLID CONCRETE UNDERPINNING PIERS to support your existing building; we DO NOT use resin/chemical gimmicks. Adept has extensive expertise in rectifying unsuccessful resin/chemical injection methods. Read Pro's and Con's

It’s important to note that when laying foundations, resin/chemicals are never used as a support for new homes properties and when they are used for house underpinning, they are not successful. Importantly - imagine the effect these resin/chemicals can have on our environment!
Fixing these foundation problems however, whilst vital to the structural integrity of the building, is only half of the battle – it’s just as important to rectify the cause. Adept’s wide range of services and expertise enables us to assess the issue, rectify the damage, and also offer solutions to prevent further damage to the building including surface/sub surface drainage run off.
If you require further advice on using concrete or resin/chemical underpinning for the remediation of residential foundations, we suggest that you ring an independent engineer for their advice. However, there will only be one answer - concrete underpinning for a lifetime of support!
As a leading residential construction company - the licensed owner supervises for the duration of the project.
