POST WAR HOME: BUNGLED BRICK REPAIRS

BUILDING & PEST REPORT WAS BRILLIANT: They spotted a number of possible problems under this house. Our Structural Engineer Report found serious problems with brick columns supporting the timber floor and with the perimeter brick base.
We found that this Holland Park house was built on an old filled gully and the ground has been subsiding for decades. And dodgy repairs had also been done bit-by-bit year after year.
The damages are serious and proper repairs require complete replacement of the house footings and brick base & columns.
Our client was the buyer and she was very grateful that she had a report from Forensic Engineers to help with her purchase negotiations.

Redland Bay House subsidence: Wall Cracks Growing

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.
