Uneven and Sagging Floors.

Find out what is behind uneven and sagging floors in Newcastle and Hunter homes, and how to fix them.

Understanding what is beneath uneven floors.

Uneven floors can be more than cosmetic. They may signal movement or deterioration in the foundations beneath your home.

Floors become uneven or sag for several reasons, including problems with the stumps and supports beneath the property. You may notice floors that slope, bounce or dip, furniture that no longer sits level, sticking doors, cracks or gaps around the home.

Newcastle Foundation Repairs investigates the affected areas to find what is causing the unevenness. Rather than only addressing the visible floor, we inspect the foundations and support structure beneath it to identify the underlying issue. Depending on the cause, the fix may be restumping, house levelling or underpinning.
