Residential Foundation Repair & Home Underpinning
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.

House Underpinning and Foundation Repair Solutions
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.
