Relevelling is the process of lifting your home back to its original position or even better than when it was new. A common question we hear is, “What happens to my house when it’s levelled?”
Depending on the circumstances, some damage can occur. For instance, a renovated home that should have been restumped first is a prime example. If your home has been left untouched for years, relevelling is more likely to close cracks in plaster and make doors close properly again. However, a home that has been renovated before restumping can experience significant issues.
Here are some examples:
Doors: Doors that were altered to fit uneven floors may not close once the house is levelled.
Cupboards and Bench Tops: Built to suit uneven floors, these might not open or close properly, and joints in bench tops can open up after being levelled.
Tiles and Splashbacks: These can fall off walls when the house is levelled.
Paint and Plaster Cracks: Cracks in paint and plaster may appear or worsen.
If you’re considering restumping or relevelling your home, it’s essential to understand these potential outcomes and plan accordingly. Our experts are here to help you navigate this process and ensure the best results for your home.
