Cracking and Building Movement Due to Subsidence
Do Cracks In Walls Indicate A Structural Problem?
At JHA Australia, we understand how unsettling it can be to see cracks appearing on your walls and ceilings at home or at your business. Cracking can often be an early sign of subsidence or settlement, which can quickly develop into very costly structural work.
Although cracking doesn’t necessarily mean there is a subsidence problem, it is essential that you know what’s causing the cracks in your walls to guarantee the safety of your property in the future.
Get your Building Cracks Assessed by the Experts
Our structural engineering team is commonly called upon to assess cracks and advise on the cause and possible future problems that may be encountered. To assess your home or business our engineers will:
Perform an accurate laser level survey or hydraulic level survey of your dwelling to determine the extent & position of any movement with the foundation floor.
- The cause of the problem
- Whether the problem is long term
- If the cracking is going to continue
- If remedial works are required, what they are (including alternative options) and what is the estimated cost of the works.
