Eltham and the surrounding north eastern suburbs are known for their sloping sites, mature vegetation and established residential properties, creating unique building challenges including foundation movement, retaining wall failures, drainage issues and roof defects. Properties built on reactive soils or steep blocks can experience cracking, water ingress and structural deterioration if underlying issues are not properly identified.
