Signs your house needs repiling
Uneven or Sloping Floors
If your floors are no longer level or have noticeable dips and slopes, it's a strong indicator that your foundation piles may have shifted or deteriorated.
Cracks in Walls and Ceilings
Large or growing cracks, especially around door frames, windows, and ceilings, suggest that your house is settling unevenly due to foundation issues.
Sticking Doors and Windows
Doors and windows that suddenly become difficult to open or close could be a sign that the foundation has shifted
Gaps Between Floor and Skirting Boards
Noticeable gaps between the floor and skirting
boards are often a result of the house settling unevenly
Dampness or Water Pooling Near the Foundation
Excess moisture around your foundation can
weaken the piles over time, leading to the need for repiling.
Visible Foundation Movement or
Settling
If you observe visible signs of movement, such as tilting or sinking sections of your house, it's likely that your foundation needs immediate attention.
Foundation Pile Exposure
If you can see the tops of your foundation piles exposed above the ground level, it's a sign that the soil has eroded or the piles have shifted, requiring repiling.
Age of the House
Older houses, especially those over 50 years old, are more likely to need repiling as the original materials may have deteriorated over time.
