House re pile

It has had a lean too extension built in the early 80's on a concrete slab which has also sank due to plumbing issues & very sloppy ground. Can this all be lifted & maybe a wood floor put wher...

Internal wall sunk in earthquake

Posted 8 months ago

An internal wall has sunk about 20-50mm in an earthquake. It's a wooden floor with no access under the house so the floor will probably need to be pulled up for the job. I need a quote for raising the wall back up to level for insurance from someone who is also prepared to do the job once its approved.
