Sub-Floor Solutions Neglect is Cheap - Your Family Health is Priceless Is developing Asthma or other Respiratory Problems worth the saving of a few thousand dollars. Children are our future - when I see a child with Asthma in a house that has poor sub-floor conditions including Fungi growth that is likely to have contributed to the respiratory sensitivity - I Hurt - What I can do to make a difference is to provide a service that involves hard physical labour so that other persons may not have to suffer - very few people would be crazy enough to improve sub-floors the way we do but child's health makes it all worthwhile for me personally. Stephen Koelewyn provides Sub-Floor Solutions to resolve problems down under. Our Sub-Floor service is unique, our repair methods are based on our own research & development and our own testing over time. Our primary aim is to improve the environment under buildings so that the interior living quality is improved, we have different ways of improving the environmental conditions under the building, a healthy building will provide quality of life, an unhealthy building may contribute to a physical deterioration in some persons, it is common knowledge that many respiratory problems in the wider community are often contributed to fungal growth under and around buildings (sick building syndrome). Sub-Floor Solutions carries out under-floor building work, if you are considering extending for that extra room or possibly a workshop then you may consider going under your current dwelling, Sub-Floor Solutions primarily services the southern suburbs of Sydney. Stephen Koelewyn has purchased an Avant Loader (articulated loader) with multiple attachments to aid in the excavation needs under buildings, necessary underpinning, structural steel work, alterations of the soil, alterations to the sub-floor environment. Also to deter termite activity within the boundaries of a property by physical control methods such as stump grinding and replacement of timber retaining walls' Stephen Koelewyn was the first to develop the technique of using thermal imaging to detect termites in buildings in early 1994, always creative - Stephen Koelewyn provides alternative solutions in the conditioning of sub-floors. The sub-floor (crawl space under buildings) is an area in the building that is generally neglected as this is often a forgotten void/s that can be hard to access and it can often be difficult to find suitable contractors that are willing to carry out serious work within this area due to the degree of difficulty involved. Due to the lack of contractors that specialise in the sub-floor areas the alternatives often involve using either plumbers or pest controllers to carry out repairs in this area, these repairs are often partial and do not necessarily provide a total solution. Many building defects and/or problems originate as a direct result of the condition of the sub-floor, the most concerning being that if certain conditions exist within a sub-floor then the conditions within a building can prove to be a real health hazard to the long term occupants of that building. Sub-Floor Solutions selectively carries out building works and structural pest management services to improve the environment around and under buildings, primarily to improve the habitable environment within a building and deter termite activity. Stephen Koelewyn is a licensed builder in NSW- 45109c, licensed pest controller - 2025. Licenced Building Consultant BC213 and is tree qualified - Steve has limited time while carrying out his pre-purchase inspections and therefore this type of work is carried out on a limited basis but Stephen loves the challenging jobs. Sub-Floor Solutions - what do we mean and what do we do.
Does your building have a musty smell internally? A musty smell is often promoted by poor ventilation, "increased ventilation may hide the source of musty smells but does not solve the actual problem !!!", the musty smell can often be associated to suspended fungal spores in the air within the dwelling, fungal spores are suspected of being one of the triggers that can initiate respiratory problems in persons that may have a respiratory sensitivity as is the apparent case for some asthma sufferers. Steve has carried out a lot of research and development into improving buildings that are sometimes referred to as having "sick building syndrome", although Steve has explored many of the methods to reduce respiratory triggers such as dust mite control within the dwelling he has found that the interior can be serviced by many cleaning or painting contractors etc'. The sub-floor area is often totally neglected by building owners and can be the origin of many problems within a building and therefore Steve has realised a need to provide Sub-Floor Solutions. Steve has found that many of the recommendations that he has made and/or continues to make in the reports he provides are not carried out and/or are only partially carried out by his clients, he has been advised on numerous occasions by his clients and/or associates that this is mainly due to a lack of suitable contractors that are readily available and willing to carry out this type of work . Sub-Floor Solutions is a generally specialised service. The sub-floor has a significant influence on the internal condition of a building and therefore a good environment within the sub-floor will generally mean healthier living within the habitable areas of the building. The condition of the sub-floor is affected by many variants and therefore to improve the environment under a building, the surrounds and the exterior of the building often need to be altered. To improve the environment under a building it is often necessary to undertake major alterations to the existing landscape, site drainage and amenity around the building. The costs involved can be quite high and therefore each and every job needs to be designed and quoted individually. The costs involved vary significantly job by job and each and every job would need to be quoted individually, as it is not possible to quote the works needed under a building without fully accessing (normally by crawling) the sub-floor area our quotes can not be carried out for free, we charge a $150.00 quoting fee, if we arrive on site and immediately determine that we are unable to provide a service we may chose not to charge the quoting fee.
