House Levelling Jacking and Packing
House levelling services in Melbourne
Techniblock provide a cost effective solution to your house's floors if they display a bounce movement, a sense of unlevelness or signs your internal doors stick or swing freely. We do this by way of a "jack & pack" by resetting levels. (Please refer to Techniblock Restumping Services for other tell tale signs.)
What can cause this level of distress?
- Soil shrinkage overtime.
- Excessive moisture build up around base of stump thereby causing the stump to sink.
- Stumps installed at too shallow depth.
- Incorrect founding depth of stumps.
A jack & pack involves setting up a series of bottle jacks adjacent to stumps and lifting the bearer off the stump and once the desired level is achieved with the floor above, then insert a high density plastic packers in the gap created. Note jack & packs should only be undertaken on concrete stumps AND NOT TIMBER STUMPS. Moreover, timber, masonite and cement sheet packers should not be used.
If you have a stumped subfloor, it is suggested you undertake a jack & pack relevel tweak from time to time to maintain a constant level and stability of your house. This varies depending on the reason for the stumps to sink.
Techniblock is here to assist you with keeping your primary asset plumb, straight and true. Contact our office 03 9720 7700.
