🏠 Another West Auckland Home Protected

Another great result for a happy customer in West Auckland!

Over time, soil had built up around the back of this home, trapping moisture against the foundation and causing timber rot and waterproofing issues.

Working alongside Ansari Engineering, the CCS team excavated around the affected area, repiled the back section of the house and constructed a new timber retaining wall to hold back the surrounding soil and divert water away from the foundation.

A properly designed timber retaining wall can do much more than retain soil. With suitable drainage installed behind it, it can help manage groundwater, reduce erosion and prevent excess moisture and pressure from affecting your home’s foundations. Addressing these issues early can help avoid more extensive and costly repairs later.

If you have concerns about sloping ground, unstable soil, deteriorating retaining walls, water pooling around your home or movement in your foundations, our experienced team can visit the property, assess the issues and recommend the most appropriate solution.

🏠 FOUNDATION FACT FRIDAY
What should you look for under a house before purchasing?
Buying a home? Don’t just inspect what’s above the floor — what’s underneath can tell you a lot about the condition of the property.

🔎 Here are some things to look for:

🪵 Timber piles – Check for rot, deterioration, cracking or damage, particularly around ground level.
📏 Uneven or leaning piles – Piles that are no longer plumb or appear to have moved can indicate foundation movement.
🏠 Bearers & joists – Look for sagging, cracking, excessive movement or deterioration.
💧 Moisture & drainage – Standing water, damp soil or poor ventilation can contribute to timber deterioration and other problems.
🔩 Connections – Check that piles, bearers and joists are properly supported and connected.
📐 Floor levels – Uneven floors can sometimes indicate movement or settlement within the foundation system.
🐜 Pest or borer damage – Timber damage isn't always obvious from above.
⚠️ Previous repairs – Look for evidence of packing, jacking, replacement piles or other foundation work.

💡 CCS TIP:
A house can look fantastic from the street and still have significant issues underneath.
If you're buying an older property, consider getting the subfloor and foundations properly inspected by someone experienced.

🏠 Another foundation repair completed in West Auckland!

This project involved underpinning and relevelling the sinking foundation, along with replacing deteriorated internal piles to bring the home back to level and provide long-term support.

Insufficient drainage can cause water to collect around or beneath a home, saturating and softening the supporting ground. Over time, this can lead to soil movement, uneven settlement, sinking foundations and damage to timber piles or other foundation components.

Some common warning signs include sloping or uneven floors, doors and windows sticking, cracks appearing in walls, and noticeable movement around the home.

If you have concerns about your foundations, contact the CCS team for a free, no-obligation assessment.

🏠 FOUNDATION FACT FRIDAY

Foundation issues that can affect your property value

When it comes to selling a home, buyers aren't just looking at the kitchen and bathroom.

The condition of the foundations can have a major impact on buyer confidence — and potentially the value of the property. 🏠

🔎 Some foundation issues to watch for:
🪵 Deteriorated timber piles — Rot, decay or borer damage can raise concerns about the remaining life of the foundation.
📐 Uneven floors — Significant settlement or movement can indicate underlying foundation issues.
🚪 Sticking doors & windows — These can sometimes be signs of movement within the building.
🧱 Cracking — Cracks in walls, brickwork or other parts of the building may indicate movement that needs further investigation.
💧 Poor drainage — Excess moisture around foundations can contribute to deterioration and ground movement.
🔨 Previous foundation repairs — Buyers may want to know what work was completed, why it was required and whether it was properly documented.
📋 Building report concerns — Foundation issues identified during a pre-purchase inspection can lead buyers to renegotiate or reconsider a property.

💡 CCS TIP:
Foundation problems don't automatically mean a property is a bad investment.
Many foundation issues can be assessed, repaired and managed.
The important thing is understanding what the problem is, how serious it is and what repair may be required before making a decision.

Thinking of buying or selling an older property?
👉 Get the foundations checked — before the problem becomes someone else's negotiation point.

🏠 CCS FOUNDATION FACT FRIDAY

Did you know a house can settle differently from one end to the other?

It might look like your whole house is sinking — but foundation movement isn't always uniform.
📐 Different parts of a house can move at different rates, depending on ground conditions, drainage, foundation type, pile condition and the loads being carried.
You might notice:
🔹 Floors sloping in one direction
🔹 Doors sticking or not closing properly
🔹 Gaps appearing around windows and doors
🔹 Cracks developing in walls or ceilings
🔹 One section of the house sitting noticeably lower
🔹 Uneven gaps between the floor and skirting

🪵 With older timber pile foundations, deterioration or movement of individual piles can contribute to localised settlement.

💡 CCS TIP:
If one part of your home feels noticeably lower than another, don't assume it's just an old or uneven floor.
The cause could be underneath the house.
Getting the foundation system assessed can help determine whether you're dealing with normal movement, localised settlement or a more significant foundation issue.

Another successful foundation project completed out East! 🏠🔨

This building is being converted into a new medical centre, which meant the existing foundations needed to be repiled, relevelled and brought up to current Building Code requirements.

Our team completed the foundation upgrades in accordance with the engineered design, with both the engineer and council happy with the finished work—and, most importantly, another happy client!

‘Thank you to Simon, Chase and the CCS team we appreciate your hard work and professionalism removing/installing new underfloor piles and subfloor framing. The whole job was seamless and we would recommend their services to all.’
