Piers and Foundation Inspection Newcastle

The foundation of your home, supported by piers and footings, bears the entire structural load of the building. Despite their critical importance, foundation issues are often overlooked during property inspections. Problems with piers can lead to significant structural damage and create conditions that attract destructive pests.

What We Inspect

Structural condition of all piers and footings
Signs of cracking, fractures, or mortar deterioration
Pier stability and alignment
Timber stump decay and pest damage
Ground movement and subsidence
Load-bearing capacity concerns
Evidence of water damage or drainage issues
Pest activity around foundation areas

Structural Stability Assessment

Our detailed inspection focuses on identifying signs of foundation stress or movement. Leaning or unstable piers can indicate serious structural problems that may worsen over time. We carefully examine the connection between piers and bearer beams, looking for signs of separation or misalignment that could compromise your home's stability.

Timber stumps require particular attention as they're susceptible to decay and pest infestation. Our inspectors check for rot, termite damage, and other wood-destroying organisms that could weaken these crucial support structures.

Early detection of pier and foundation issues is crucial for maintaining your property's structural integrity. Our comprehensive Building and Pest Inspection Report will detail any concerns found and recommend appropriate action to protect your investment.
