Floor Levelling

Fed up with your home’s uneven and unstable floors? We can permanently level your floors.

Why is my floor sloping?

If you have a timber floor, it’s formed from three main components: floorboards, joists and bearers. In most cases, these elements aren’t the issue. The real problem starts way below floor level, in the ground.

For your timber floor to remain level, the ground must remain stable and solid. When your floor begins to slope in a particular direction, it’s more than likely that you have an issue with your floor’s supporting piers.

What are floor piers and what causes them to sink?

Sometimes referred to as brick piers or stumps, floor piers sit under timber floors to carry the floor’s weight. This weight includes the bearers, joists, floorboards and internal walls, as well as the people and furniture inside a home.

There are a variety of ways to identify if you have sinking floor piers and hence, sinking floors. The first way is to feel it. When you walk along your floors you may feel a dip, or the floorboards might feel bouncy. When you open or try to close your doors, they may also jam against the floor as well.

The second way is to see it. Gyprock walls may show visible cracks when floors sink. Small objects such as toys or balls will also move when you place them on the floor. Gaps may also have appeared under your skirting boards and cracks may have appeared in cornices–or even fallen from the ceiling.

The traditional floor levelling solutions

Jack-And-Pack

This is where floors are raised using hydraulic jacks. Wedges or pieces of wood are then fitted between piers and bearers to close the gap and keep the floors level. Lifting and packing floors is a quick fix that should only be used as a short-term solution. In most cases where this method is used the floor piers continue to subside.

Steel pier replacement

This is a method also known as ‘house restumping’. It’s where floors are propped and steel or concrete piers are used to replace old brick piers. In the process floorboards, damaged joists and bearers might need to be cleared and a lot of excavating needs to take place. This is a big downside, as it can take weeks to complete and most of the time inhabitants will need to move out for the duration.

Self-leveling cement screed

This floor levelling technique involves pouring a cement based mixture to even out floors. The cement is used to fix dips and slopes, creating the appearance of a level floor. This method can be effective when dealing with sloping floors, however it can be a waste of time and money if the underlying issues are not rectified and the supporting floor piers continue to sink.

Our advanced floor levelling solution - GeoPoly™

With GeoPoly™, you can quickly level your floors without enduring the expense and drawn-out process that traditional floor levelling pier replacement often entails.

Unlike other methods that can take weeks, raising floor piers and leveling floors with GeoPoly™ typically takes just a day or two.

The injection process is minimally invasive, requiring only a small 1 cm drill hole for access and can be administered from either above or below the floor level.

If you’re dealing with sloping or sinking floors, GeoPoly™ provides a fuss-free way to stabilise and lift your floor piers.

Floor levelling is a process to correct uneven or sloping floors, ensuring a flat and stable surface. It is necessary when floors are sinking, have become uneven due to settlement or need resurfacing before installing new flooring.
Signs include visible slopes or dips in the floor, uneven wear on flooring, doors that won’t close properly and cracks in the floor or walls, indicating that the foundation may have shifted.
GeoPoly™ is an advanced method that involves injecting a geopolymer material beneath the floor to raise and stabilise it. Unlike traditional methods, it is less invasive, faster and can be more precise in correcting floor unevenness.
Quality floor levelling, especially with advanced materials like GeoPoly™, is designed to provide a long-term solution by addressing the underlying issues of soil stability and floor structure.
Floor levelling can be adapted to most types of timber flooring and foundations. However, the specific method and materials used may vary depending on the type of flooring and the extent of the levelling required.

More Questions...

How long will it take for my walls to dry after damp proof treatment?
We employ our damp proofing solution, DampBlock™, to counteract the effects of rising damp in your walls by blocking capillaries, reducing the walls ability to draw moisture upwards. After this process, the existing damp in your walls will generally take 6-12 months to dry out.
After the damp proofing process, your walls will start to dry. However, this can result in natural salt crystallisation and residual dampness on the surface. To prevent the surface plaster from deteriorating and the appearance of damp, an application of a salt-blocking solution is recommended, which we are happy to assist with and discuss during your assessment.
Certainly not. DampBlock™ is non-hazardous and completely odourless, allowing you and your family to stay at home while we work.
Buildfix has successfully completed well over 10,000 projects across Australia over the past decade. This includes mostly residential projects, as well as some commercial and strata buildings.
Absolutely. We proudly offer an industry-leading, transferable 20-year warranty on our products and workmanship, which ensures your peace of mind for years to come and adds value to your property, even if you decide to sell it in the future.
Yes, our DampBlock™ is environmentally safe and poses no harm to the surroundings.
Yes, effective damp proofing can enhance the structural integrity of your property, prevent health hazards due to mould and ultimately improve the property’s market value and appeal to potential buyers.
