What is House Re-stumping?
Re-stumping, also known as reblocking, involves replacing the stumps or foundation supports beneath a home to restore its structural integrity. Over time, stumps can deteriorate due to factors like soil movement, moisture, or natural wear. This can lead to uneven floors, cracks in walls, and potential safety hazards. Our re-stumping service ensures your home remains stable, level, and secure.
Comprehensive Re-stumping Services
Initial Assessment. Our expert team conducts a detailed inspection of your property to identify any signs of foundation issues, such as uneven flooring or sagging.
Removal of Old Stumps. We carefully remove the old, damaged stumps to prepare for the installation of new, durable supports. We work with a range of stump materials, including concrete, timber, and steel, based on the specific needs of your property.
Installation of New Stumps. The new stumps are installed with precision, ensuring the house is level and securely supported. This process provides long-term stability and protection against future soil movement or deterioration.
Post-Work Inspection. After the re-stumping is complete, we carry out a final inspection to ensure that the home is level and that all structural elements are safe and properly supported.
Why Re-stumping is Important
Re-stumping is essential for maintaining the structural health of your home. It prevents issues like:
Foundation Movement. Stops further sinking or shifting of the house.
Cracks in Walls. Helps prevent damage to walls, doors, and windows caused by an unstable foundation.
Safety Hazards. Eliminates the risk of dangerous structural damage that can result from deteriorating stumps.
