Does anyone know of floor levelling for weatherboard homes?

As floors are un-even due to weather, and the house is on stumps, due to hot weather that cracks the ground below the house during summer and then when winter hits unfortunately rain water goes into the cracks and causes movement.

Yes I am already waterproofing to a degree, but would like to know of all the alternatives of raising floor levels. I have seen adds for re-stumping but thats a fortune and have seen some sort of cementing that is, injected below the stumps. I have zero cracks in walls and this house is in brilliant condition other than the floor levels.

i basically have one section of the house where the floors are uneven cause of water getting into the soil where the stumps to the house was. I am trying to find a different way to floor level without the expense as been quoated approx 3k to level if raised by a professional.

if it is possible, maybe applying water to gradually lower sections (this is tricky and seeking help if its worthwhile to use water - its my first time and not an expert on the matter)
