BUILDING & PEST: POSSIBLE SUBSIDENCE, COULD BE SERIOUS.
Coomera House For Sale.
A recent Building & Pest Report was really accurate and found evidence of possible footing movements and recommended that the buyer should get and expert Forensic Engineer report to see if it was serious or not.
In some cases serious subsidence damages can be covered up with filler and paint and only recent movements and wall cracks may be evident.
But in this case, our meticulous Structural Engineer inspection & Report found only some wear & tear, and no significant past or current subsidence.
The buyer was very relieved and incredibly grateful for our professionalism. Happy days!

In this recent case, the Body Corp called us in to investigate and report on this townhouse with subsidence and wall cracks and gaps that were getting worse and worse.
It turned out that other engineers had previously looked at the building and had decided that subsidence had occurred in the past and had stopped and and the damages were not serious and could be patched and painted. Sadly, they were wrong.

In this case, Resin / Chemical Underpinning was not considered appropriate and Steel Screw piers would be far too expensive and unnecessary.
The most reliable and cost effective method was with conventional underpinning using reinforced concrete piers and head-stocks.

The owner had a free assessment from a fast-talking Underpinning Sales Rep.
But our Independent Structural Engineer Report found there had been some slight old settlements and some old cracks, and the house was now stable.
Despite the persuasive talk fro the underpinning sales rep, NO UNDERPINNING WAS NEEDED AT ALL and simple, affordable crack repairs was the solution. The seller and the buyer were thrilled!
