🌿💪 Tight access, long poles and a team prepared to go the extra mile!

This Auckland retaining wall repair certainly tested the team, with access requiring them to manoeuvre 6m SED poles through the surrounding bush to reach the site.

Repairing damage from the 2023 cyclones, the crew worked through some challenging conditions to get the job completed for another happy owner. Their message afterwards made it all worthwhile:

💬 “We feel like you went above and beyond on our sh*tty retaining project and we are very grateful. If you ever do need a reference we are happy to provide.”

They’ve even sent a thank-you gift for the team! 🎁 An incredibly thoughtful gesture, and a great reminder of how much hard work and care mean to our clients.

A big thank you to our hardworking crew, and to the owners for trusting CCS with this challenging project. 🙌

🔨 CCS FOUNDATION FACT FRIDAY 🏠

DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 The way your timber piles are installed can make or break your foundation!
Timber piles do the heavy lifting underneath your home, but getting them installed correctly is just as important as the piles themselves.

We have discovered this on a project recently; this shows what can happen if piles are not installed correctly. Compromising the Stability of your home!

✅ Correct depth and embedment – Piles need to be installed to suit the ground conditions and foundation design.
✅ The right treatment – The correct timber treatment is essential to help protect against decay and ground moisture.
✅ Proper positioning and alignment – Piles need to be positioned correctly to support bearers and transfer loads as intended.
✅ Secure connections – Correct fixings between piles and bearers help keep your subfloor stable and secure.
✅ Good ground conditions – Poor installation or inadequate ground support can contribute to movement and uneven floors over time.

⚠️ Cut corners under the house, and you could pay for it later!

🏠🔨 Back on a solid footing in Gisborne!

The CCS Gisborne team recently completed foundation relevelling and pile replacements for Ash, improving the floor levels and support beneath the home. Thanks for trusting us with your property, Ash!

🌧️☀️ Changing weather can take its toll on foundations. Heavy rain and saturated ground can soften soils or cause erosion around piles, while prolonged dry periods can cause some soils to shrink. This movement can contribute to uneven floors, sticking doors and cracks appearing around your home.

If you’ve noticed changes, it’s worth having your foundations checked. Our team works throughout Gisborne and the wider Tairāwhiti region, helping homeowners with relevelling, repiling, underpinning and subfloor repairs.

🏠 Sinking foundations? Let CCS help get your home back on level ground!

The CCS Bay of Plenty team love working in this beautiful region, recently completing underpinning and relevelling.

Another great result and some lovely feedback from Peter and Robyn:

💬 “We engaged Core Construction to relevel an older house on our property. Soft ground had led to settlement on one side up to 100mm. The Core Construction team were efficient and good to have on site. The work was completed in a very timely manner and we can now walk down the hall without one leg feeling shorter than the other!”
— Peter & Robyn Askey

🪵 CCS FOUNDATION FACT FRIDAY

Did you know timber piles can look perfectly fine above ground but be deteriorated below ground?
This is one of the reasons what's happening underneath your house matters. 🏠
A timber pile can appear solid and healthy where it's visible, while the section below ground level or around the ground-line zone may have deterioration that isn't obvious from a quick visual inspection.

🔎 Things that can contribute to deterioration include:
💧 Moisture — prolonged exposure to damp conditions can contribute to timber decay.
🌧️ Poor drainage — water collecting around the foundations can create an unfavourable environment.
🪵 Ground-line deterioration — the area around ground level can be particularly important when assessing older timber piles.
🐜 Borer and insect damage — internal or concealed damage may not always be immediately obvious.
⚠️ Age and condition — older foundations should be assessed based on their actual condition rather than appearance alone.

💡 CCS TIP:
Don't judge a timber pile by what you can see above the ground.
If you're buying an older home or have concerns about your existing foundations, a proper subfloor and foundation inspection can help identify issues that aren't visible from above.
