They say that you’ll know the story behind a property by looking at its foundation. Indeed, I couldn’t agree more! In my several years of building houses in Perth, I have uncovered many interesting stories from structures of the houses I am working on.
A lot of my clients would inquire about restumping mainly because their house is already telling them something.
And whenever I would conduct a thorough inspection of the foundation, I always look back during that time when I had my first restumping project.
What happened was, the homeowner did not heed the warning signs. Unfortunately, it came to a point that their doors will no longer work well. But because of my experience in helping Perth homeowners with issues concerning their foundations, I know exactly what happened. Let me share some insights.
Foundation issues are among those things that bother me the most. It’s not that I’m worried about how to fix them. In fact, these are pretty straightforward.
But what really bothers me is that many homeowners would ignore the signs, which could have been resolved early on.
This is why I’m very serious about structural integrity. I am very mindful of things that could potentially lead to bigger issues in the future.
Potential Red Flags
I have managed many home renovation projects where I came across many possible red flags that need to be looked at.
Besides uneven floors, some indicators that a foundation has major issues are walls that crack, misalignment of windows, and spaces between floors and walls.
Expert Analysis Procedures
Emil Rozkoszny, one of our esteemed clients, have talked about our technical expertise:
“I’ve enjoyed working with James and his crew. They really know what they are doing and are really very, very detailed!”
When analysing, we will start from the basics. We will also test the moisture level, drainage, and condition of the soil.
Perth-Specific Considerations
I am familiar with Perth, having lived and worked here for so many years. Therefore, I know exactly what the unique challenges are of various properties.
This is why before performing restumping, I’d check the conditions of the soil. I’ll also consider factors like temperature variations, local drainage patterns, and coastal influences.
The Technical Approach
Jordan G has only good things to say about us:
“Northside has been honest with us from the get-go. We’ve gone through the whole process, so I know exactly what’s happening.
To ensure transparency, we would document every problem we encounter. We’ll make sure to let the client know of any necessary repairs. Of course, we’ll also detail the methods involved for the repair. More importantly, we will set a timeline which we aim to adhere to. We’ll also talk about the possible costs.
Quality Assurance
Check out what Lisa Loaring has said about our expertise:
“James from NSD makes sure it’s all safe before he starts working. But what I really appreciate is that he guides us through the building requirements, codes, and other important details.”
Professional Solutions
I am proud to say I have a Diploma in Building and Construction and with my vast experience – I ensure that the restumping process is accurate to a tee.
I begin with an elaborate assessment. Then, I will have a talk with the client proposing the most suitable materials. The last step is quality control.
Project Management
We always make sure to maintain the highest standards in everything that we do. Here’s what Aaron Treacy says about us:
“Indeed, Northside Developments have gone beyond my expectations! They delivered exactly what they promised me from the start. Best of all – they even suggested cost-effective ways to improve my property!”
Preventive Measures
Because we’ve handled so many projects already, it’s easy for us to identify issues even before they arise.
This is made possible through the assessment of foundation, drainage, structure, etc.
