Cracks & Structural Repair
Foundation settlement repair for sinking or tilting homes
Engineering assessment of settlement, followed by underpinning, plinth protection and drainage that stabilise your home.
Floors sloping, doors that no longer close, and cracks that widen toward one corner of the house suggest part of the foundation has settled.
Foundation problems are serious but often fixable. RennovEN investigates the cause — water, soil, or new construction nearby — and designs a repair to stabilise the house.
Signs you need this
- Diagonal cracks widening towards one corner
- Floors visibly sloping
- Gaps under skirting or between floor and wall
- Doors and windows jamming

Diagnosis
Why it happens
Water under footings
Leaking drains, blocked rainwater or a rising water table soften soil beneath the foundation.
Poor original footing
Shallow or undersized footings on weak or filled ground settle unevenly.
Nearby excavation
Basement digging next door can disturb soil under your foundation.
