Redland Bay House subsidence: Wall Cracks Growing

Back
Wall Cracks, Subsidence Engineer Report Required: Call Forensic Engineers! Our investigation for the owner of this Wellington Point House found gradual footing settlements were slowly progressing and damaging the house. The cause was site preparation included cut and fill, plus large trees had been removed, and loose material was under some of the footings.
The best way to stabilize the house was with conventional underpinning utilizing reinforced concrete piers. Other methods such as Steel Screw Piers were more expensive and Urethane Resin was not applicable in this case.
Mehrtens Underpinning & Construction did brilliant work with the underpinning and all of the building repairs were included in their scope.
