- Project Overview
A Settling Corner, Stabilised For Good.
The homeowners noticed a stair-step crack above one corner of the foundation, doors that stuck in damp weather, and a floor starting to slope. Our inspection found the footing was sinking into soft, wet clay.
Instead of patching the wall, we traced the cause: poor drainage was saturating the soil under that corner. We stabilised the footing with steel push piers driven to solid ground, lifted the corner back toward level, and corrected the drainage so the problem wouldn’t return.

- The Challenge
A Corner Sinking Into Soft Clay.
Water from poor grading and an overflowing downspout had soaked the clay under one corner. The footing was slowly settling, cracking the wall and sloping the floor above.
- Our Response
Stabilise The Footing, Then Remove The Cause.
We drove steel push piers to load-bearing soil, lifted the corner back toward level, then extended the downspouts and regraded the soil so water stays away from the foundation.
- How It Works
Simple Steps. No Guesswork.
Every recommendation is backed by what we measured on site, so you know exactly why each repair is on the plan.

A licensed specialist checks walls, floors, drainage and grading inside and out.

- CLIENT FEEDBACK
What It Was Like To Work With BaseFix.
A good repair isn’t only about the finished wall. It’s also about how clearly the process is explained and how confident the homeowner feels along the way.
BaseFix showed us exactly what was wrong before they quoted a thing. The crew was tidy and on time, and our floors are finally level again.

The architecture is intentionally quiet. Proportion, material transitions, natural light, and built-in details do most of the work.
