Repiling involves removing existing rotten and/or defective concrete or wooden piles and replacing them with new tanalised timber piles. Repiling can also involve relevelling the house and replacing the subfloor timber.

How do I know if my house needs to be repiled?

• You live in an older house with Totara piles.
• Old wooden piles look rotted or deteriorated.
• The floors feel unlevel and are sloping.
• Cracks have appeared, suggesting that the house is moving.
• Doors and windows don’t close properly or aren’t aligned.
• The piles appear to be floating, they don’t touch the house.
• Concrete piles are showing cracks or signs of wear.
• The floors feel bouncy when walking though the house.
• There are piles missing.

If your house needs repiling then it is essential that the repiling work is carried out before ANY renovations are undertaken.
