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.
