A broken water pipe created a large sinkhole under a townhouse driveway. Residents feared the driveway would collapse or further damage would appear. Fortunately, our expert investigation revealed that the slab remained intact and the damage was localized. We recommended filling the hole and re-supporting the driveway slab using either Polyurethane Resin Injection or hyflow cementitious grout (“Mud-Jacking”).

This older house suffered serious movement in the perimeter footings and floor stumps. Highly plastic clay soils common in Kuraby cause footings to lift, settle, and often “rotate” (lean). Because the footings moved so significantly, the timber floor became unstable. We recommended vacating the house, followed by comprehensive re-stumping and replacement of the perimeter base and footings.

The townhouse complex sits on compressible landfill that has settled slowly for decades. We identified recent cracks, gaps, and serious variations in floor levels caused by active settlement of the founding materials. After considering several stabilization methods, we determined that conventional underpinning—possibly incorporating steel screw piers in areas with a water table—is the only reliable solution.
