House subsidence? Act early to avoid major damage
Subsidence can compromise your home's structural integrity. We identify the cause and stop the movement for good.

Subsidence occurs when the ground beneath your home becomes unstable and can no longer support the structure evenly. Over time, this causes parts of the house to settle lower than others, leading to cracks, uneven floors, sticking doors and a range of other issues.
At Foundation Solutions, we specialise in stabilising homes affected by subsidence using screw pile underpinning, a proven method for halting movement and re-levelling homes affected by unstable ground.
What causes house subsidence?
It's usually about what's happening in the soil beneath your slab.
Our solution to subsidence is engineered and proven
House subsidence won't resolve itself, and cosmetic fixes won't last if the ground is still moving. Repair methods like resin injection may only have a temporary effect if the root causes are not addressed. Here's how we tackle it:
- Begin with a Home Check-up to assess signs of subsidence, such as cracking, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows.
- If needed, we provide a forensic structural engineering report to confirm the cause and recommend the right solution.
- We then design and install screw pile underpinning, targeting the unstable zones to stabilise and, if required, lift your foundation.
- Once the home is stabilised, you can move forward with confidence, knowing your structure is secure and future movement is no longer a risk.
If you suspect your home may be affected by subsidence, early action is key. The sooner it's diagnosed, the more options, and better outcomes, you'll have.
