MGR Building Group — Structural Crack Repairs
What is Structural Crack Repairs?
Structural Crack Repairs involve diagnosing and restoring cracks in walls, footings, or foundations to ensure the safety, stability, and long-term durability of a building. Cracks can be cosmetic, but in many cases they indicate deeper structural issues that require expert assessment.
Common causes include ground movement, soil subsidence, poor drainage away from footings, inadequate slab preparation, or water ingress affecting the soil moisture content. In some cases, insufficient concrete strength (low MPa rating), poor compaction, or reactive clay soils can also contribute to structural movement and cracking.
Early intervention is crucial to prevent further deterioration, reduce repair costs, and ensure compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) and engineering standards.
How MGR Building Group Assists with Structural Crack Repairs
Thorough inspection and assessment of cracks by qualified professionals to determine severity, origin, and whether structural intervention is required.
Identification of contributing factors such as inadequate site drainage, defective slab construction, or footing design issues.
Targeted repairs using epoxy or polyurethane injection for fine cracks, or more extensive methods such as underpinning, re-stumping, or wall reinforcement for significant movement.
Re-levelling of floors and footings where subsidence or soil movement has caused differential settlement.
Rectification of site drainage issues to redirect water away from footings and reduce long-term soil reactivity.
Implementation of preventative measures to avoid recurring damage, including proper site grading, moisture control, and foundation monitoring.
Work carried out to meet engineering standards and relevant Australian codes, with optional condition reports or compliance documentation provided.
