Project Overview
Following severe seasonal weather changes, the private homeowner of this Kilsyth residence experienced severe structural movement in their primary sub-floor and load-bearing walls. APEX carried out an urgent structural defect investigation to assess foundational integrity and provide immediate safety guidelines.
XThe Challenge
- Working within a heavily restricted, low-clearance subfloor environment across the Kilsyth property.
- Identifying complex interactions between reactive clay soils and recent local excavation works.
- Ensuring immediate structural safety for the occupying family while the assessment concluded.
Our Solution
- ✔Walked through the home to physically assess the noticeable floor settlement and wall cracking.
- ✔Identified compromised brick piers and timber rot caused by poor localized subfloor ventilation.
- ✔Provided an expedited, cost-effective structural rectification plan focusing on targeted restumping and drainage upgrades.
