A Complete Solution for Your Footing Repairs

When a foundation moves, the cracks are only the surface of the problem. Most builders handle either the underpinning or the wall repairs, allenCO can handle both.

AllenCO Construction provides remedial building and underpinning across Adelaide and South Australia. We diagnose the cause, strengthen the footing, and complete the wall crack repairs ourselves. We are South Australia’s premier repairer of soil-related building movement.

Our Services

Foundation Repair Services

Underpinning

Soil related building movement leads to differential footing movement, causing structural cracks. Where problems exist, underpinning strengthens the existing footing, limits future movement, and makes your building more resilient. Steel-reinforced concrete piers, backed by our 10-year guarantee, minimise cracking to a level where it is more manageable by normal building maintenance.

Remedial Building and Rectification

Once the footing is stabalised, the remedial works begin. Repairing the cracks, mortar joints and rendered surfaces left behind by differential footing movement, carried out by the same licensed builder who did the underpinning.

Wall Crack Repair

We use modern engineered crack stitching methods paired with high quality heritage repointing and rendering techniques to repair wall cracks the right way. From hairline cosmetic cracks through to large structural splits in brick walls, all the way to the final coat of paint.

Site specific solutions, Not Guesswork

Footing repair isn’t a place for shortcuts or trialling the latest techniques. The methods we use have been tried and tested locally for decades. Every job we quote incorporates a proper investigation into your footing movement before we break ground.

We use steel-reinforced concrete piers founded deep into stable ground. If conditions allow we are capable of lifting your home back to where it ought to be to close cracks and voids opened by years of soil related building movement. Our work is performed by in house suitably qualified tradespeople and is supervised by our team of licensed builders from first inspection to final coat of paint. No guesswork. Just work that holds up.

I had a fantastic experience with Allenco. I own St Canice Catholic Church in Snowtown, which I purchased two years ago, and unfortunately the building required significant underpinning due to major cracks opening up in the brickwork. From start to finish, the team at Allenco were professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. Underpinning a historic building is no small task, but they approached the job with care, precision, and clear communication throughout the entire process. Their workmanship and attention to detail gave me real confidence that the structure is now secure for the long term. I truly appreciate the quality of their work and would highly recommend Allenco to anyone needing structural or underpinning services. A very professional outfit and well deserving of 5 stars.

Cody was very thorough and careful to explain everything during his initial visit to quote for underpinning at our house. When his workmen arrived to begin on the first day I was impressed that they all took time to introduce themselves to me and answer any questions. The team varied across the time of the works, but they always kept us updated on what was happening. They were neat and tidy and made sure everything was tidy and safe at the end of the day. They consulted with us and took care with our gardens and lawns. Cam, Liam, Kyle, Mark, Jersey, Leo and the others were a delight to have doing the work and I would highly recommend them.

Our Process

How It Works

Every structural repair job we take on follows the same four steps, so you know exactly what to expect and what comes next.

1. Free Quote

We come out and inspect your home or property, Work with you to identify causes, tailor wholestic solutions and provide you with an accurate quote.

2. Excavation

We begin by digging below your original footing, following our battle tested underpinning methods and the approach the engineer's reports recommend for the soil conditions of your area.

3. Underpin Installation

Steel-reinforced concrete piers are poured below the existing footing. Once cured, if site soil conditions and the existing footing type allow, our locally made custom heavy-duty electric over hydraulic lifting equipment can restore your home to its original level, closing cracks and voids in the process.

4. Rectification

With the footing stable, after an appropriate settlement period, the wall crack repairs and refinishing works begin. Crack stitching, re-pointing and re-rendering combined let us restore your home to its former glory.
