Perth’s Only Independent Underpinning Specialist

Are sections of your property cracking, leaning or showing issues of settlement such as gaps between the walls and cornices?

It may require localised crack-stitching or isolated underpinning to help rectify the situation and ensure the property is fully re-supported, thereby addressing the issue now and preventing a possible need for complete underpinning in the future which can be a costly process.

If caught in the early stages, “a stitch in time saves nine”, that really is the best strategy.

Signs of settlement or subsidence that require crack-stitching or underpinning can include cracked walls, sinking floors, jamming doors or windows, all of which can often be attributed to weak soils, settled footings or other factors such as poor ground conditions. Failed retaining walls can also cause issues of settlement, as they sometimes move out of original alignment and rotate laterally, causing soil slippage or loss of soil mass which can lead to the property requiring either isolated or full underpinning.

Leaning piers, boundary walls, columns, garden walls, plus other small building components such as water features and mailbox enclosures can also be subject to movement, often requiring manipulation using a bespoke propping system and additional isolated edge footings, thereby providing the required re-support and underpinning to ensure stability.

Jetis Building Services help remediate all those commonly occurring issues.

Most jobs are completed in one day. Minimal disruption to clients.

Customer Comments

  • We used Jetis with great success. One of our Unit Owners did not want to pay the initial site inspection fee, but during the site inspection, Joe not only diagnosed the underlying cause of the settlement but also spotted a serious issue with the plumbing system, which, without a timely repair, would have cost the Strata Company (and all the tenants) thousands of dollars more in additional repair works, so the inspection fee was well worth it even for overall advice on the site conditions and the poor ground conditions we have at the complex of Units. Joe was a delight to deal with and Steve carried out the underpinning work (side elevation of one of the Units) within one day, he was extremely courteous to the elderly tenant who had been really worried about the recurring cracks in the walls and the actual works required to remediate the situation, but Steve put her totally at ease and the cracks haven’t returned, it’s been over 12 months now so we are thoroughly grateful to Jetis and will use them again on other Units in the future if need be.

  • We are probably selling our property next year but wanted to fix the cracks, we dealt with Joe from Jetis initially for the Scope of Work and pricing, and then Steve carried out the crack-stitching work to the complete left-hand side of our property, he was extremely neat and tidy and included a new crack within the quotation for the same price, he even walked the dog in the late afternoon as I was called into work! – I would definitely use Jetis again!

  • I’d have no hesitation in recommending Jetis to friends or family, they rectified our leaning pillar with hardly any disruption to the surrounding area. They were very neat, turned up on time and left the garden clean and tidy, very pleased with their work and attitude.

    Sean Thomas, Northern Suburb

  • Jetis realigned my verandah column and re-supported a failing balcony footing, all the work was done within the same day and Steve was very neat and courteous, no dramas at all, from the first call to Jetis both Joe and Steve attended to all my queries quickly and professionally, I would use Jetis again without doubt.

    Shirley Cox, Perth Metro

  • Joe from Jetis handled my enquiry very quickly and professionally, Steve carried out the work and was very punctual, and an extremely neat worker, the leaning column to the porch entry area was straightened and is now perfectly in line with the other column, I have passed on their details to my neighbours and also a family member who also have issues at their houses. I would highly recommend Jetis Building Services.

    Elizabeth Purcell, Southern Suburb

  • Jetis were very professional and tidy, they fixed our cracked wall with their stitching method and it hasn’t moved or re-cracked since, they did the job 2 years ago, I’m very pleased with the outcome.

    Albert King, Midland

  • I used Jetis Building Services to straighten a leaning pillar at my house, and also to crack-stitch another wall at a different section of the property. Both jobs were completed within one day and to my complete satisfaction, Steve is a very neat worker and cleaned up after the job and removed all debris, Jetis do what they say they will do and they do it when they say they will, no messing around and no let-downs, I would definitely use them again.

    Tom O’Reilly, Northern Beach Suburb

  • Our boundary wall has 5 pillars and 4 of them were leaning, 3 very badly by approximately 30-50mm, Jetis totally realigned them to vertical and gave them new footings so they were fully re-supported, Joe in the Jetis office was a joy to deal with and Steve was too, he pays a lot of attention to detail and takes pride in his work, a welcome difference to a lot of tradesmen these days. I would easily recommend Jetis for this type of work, no question.
