Core Underpinning Services Across Sydney
A stable foundation is essential to the safety and longevity of any structure. Our underpinning services Sydney address ground movement, soil instability and aged foundations using a mix of traditional and modern solutions. Whether you need footing repair Sydney, foundation footing repair, or full underpinning, we apply engineer-backed methods designed for local conditions.
Inspection and Diagnosis
Every project begins with a detailed site inspection. We assess cracks, movement and settlement through surveying, laser levelling, and soil testing to pinpoint the source of foundation stress. Once the issue is identified, our engineers design a tailored underpinning services plan — from mass concrete underpinning to resin injection underpinning, ensuring accurate diagnosis and lasting stability.
Traditional Underpinning Methods
For properties with significant settlement or access for excavation, we use proven traditional methods such as mass concrete underpinning, beam-and-base systems, or pit underpinning. These techniques create new, deeper concrete foundations that transfer loads to stable soil. They’re ideal for heritage homes and strata buildings needing structural reinforcement while maintaining compliance with engineering standards.
Modern & Minimally Invasive Methods
Not every site allows heavy excavation. Modern approaches like resin injection underpinning, mini-piles and screw piles provide foundation strengthening with minimal disruption. Structural resin expands under pressure to fill voids and compact soil, lifting and stabilising buildings quickly. These advanced methods, also used by leading ground stabilisation specialists, are perfect for live environments and sensitive strata complexes where access is limited.
Footing Repair & Foundation Stabilisation
Over time, concrete footings can crack, settle or lose bearing strength. Our footing repair Sydney and foundation footing repair services restore integrity using engineered concrete reinstatement, localised underpinning, or added structural piers. We also perform concrete footing repair where corrosion or erosion is present, and apply soil stabilisation measures to prevent further movement.
Engineer-Backed Methods & Compliance
All underpinning designs are reviewed and certified by qualified structural engineers. Every stage, from excavation to curing, follows documented procedures with photos, method statements and final compliance reports. Our services meet Australian Standards, giving strata managers, insurers and property owners complete peace of mind that the repair is safe, compliant, and built to last.

Common Questions About Balcony Waterproofing
Foundation issues can feel daunting, but most can be repaired safely and permanently with the right process. Understanding what causes movement and how to correct it helps property owners make confident decisions. Our team specialises in diagnosing and resolving subsidence through underpinning services, foundation footing repair, and related structural works. We’ve answered some of the most common questions about how these solutions restore stability and protect your property long term.
Do you service the Eastern Suburbs and wider Sydney area?
Yes. We offer underpinning Sydney and footing repair Sydney services across the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, and Sutherland Shire. As ground stabilisation specialists, we understand local soil conditions and deliver engineer-backed solutions that last.
How do I know if my property needs underpinning?
Typical signs include widening cracks, uneven floors, or doors and windows that no longer align. If these appear, it’s best to arrange an inspection before the problem worsens. We’ll determine whether targeted footing repair Sydney or full underpinning is required, using soil testing and level checks to confirm the cause of movement.
Is underpinning safe for occupied buildings?
Yes. Modern underpinning services Sydney are designed to be carried out safely, even in occupied homes or strata complexes. Whether we’re using resin injection underpinning or traditional mass concrete underpinning, each stage follows engineer-approved procedures and safety controls to keep occupants protected throughout the process.
How long does underpinning take?
Timeframes vary by method and site conditions. Resin injection underpinning can often be completed within a few days, while mass concrete underpinning or pit underpinning may take several weeks. We provide a clear schedule before work begins and keep clients informed as each stage progresses.
Will I need an engineer’s certification?
Yes. All major underpinning services and foundation footing repair works are reviewed and certified by a structural engineer. Certification confirms compliance with Australian Standards and provides documentation for strata, insurance, and future property records.
How disruptive is underpinning work?
Disruption depends on the method used. Traditional mass concrete underpinning involves excavation and takes longer, while resin injection underpinning can be completed quickly with minimal mess. Either way, our team manages safety, noise and access carefully.
