What is Restumping?

Restumping, also known as reblocking, is the process of replacing old or worn-out stumps with new ones to support the foundation of the house. Most Australian homes built in the 1960s have stumps in their foundation. Over time, the building supports deteriorate, failing to support the foundation of the property.

Once there is a fault in one or more house stumps, the underlying structure of your home is weakened. Various restumping techniques are used for repairing the foundation and re-levelling floors in suburbs such as Brighton. It takes experienced reblockers to undertake a house stump replacement project. 

There are different types of house stumps that include timber, concrete and steel stumps. These have different strengths and weaknesses. Generally, concrete lasts longer compared to timber. Different house restumping techniques can used to achieve the best result for your home.

How do I know if I need restumping, reblocking or underpinning?

The foundation on which your house is built determines whether you need restumping or underpinning. If a house is built on house stumps, its foundation repairs will require house reblocking techniques. On the other hand, a house built on a slab requires underpinning to strengthen its footings.

In general, houses are built on different grounds that have different soil characteristics. Over time, the house stumps may deteriorate due to different factors such as elements of weather and any structural changes on the house. This will require a unique house  restumping solution to support the house.  So if you need restumping in Lilydale or box hill, have a project for relevelling in Mount Everlyn or any other foundation repair services, call our team today for a free quote. 

For a house built on house stumps, you may consider our services if:

  • There was major flooding in your area - water may affect the stumps and the surrounding soil may fail to bear the weight of the property.
  • There was a modification to your house, e.g. after adding a storey
  • External walls are cracking
  • Doors and windows jamming
  • Floors are sagging or are uneven

The scope of the project depends on the extent of deteriorating stumps. If a few house stumps are rotting, you may consider partial reblocking, to simply replace the old worn-out ones. If many stumps need replacement, a complete reblocking project will make your house stable for many years. The type of stumps used will determine their durability. Houses on timber stumps may need replacement after about 20 years.

A house restumping vic project should be handled by experienced reblockers, to avoid damaging the property or injuries to people. Melbourne Restumping is experienced in restumping projects. If you are in Elwood, St Kilda, Sandringham or Bonbeach and are wondering about restumping costs, we can help you save more on restumping costs.
