Restumping Services
Restumping, which also popularly known as reblocking, involves refurbishing or replacing the stumps of the house that use a stump subfloor. This often happens when these stumps are rotten or settle due to the quality of the soil or other environmental factors that cause they deteriorate in quality and often leave more stress on the structure of the house as they cannot support it any longer.
It is also useful to restump old houses, as the moisture in the soil can often rotten then, or if you are making any major renovations to that home. The renovations may come with added stress on the structure of that old house and therefore restumping assists elongating the life of the house and improving the structural integrity of place. Restumping is often important and a big undertaking, therefore without the right contractors who are experienced in the field, it can lead to further damages.
How to Identify if your Home Needs Restumping?
- If your floor feels uneven, bowed or even soft on the step
- You observe that doors and windows are not functioning properly
- Your interior walls start to present more cracks and breaks
- Your brick walls show signs of exterior cracking
It is important to note that, beyond the signs that are mentioned above, we have to remember that all houses are built different and each house may have different soil conditions. For these reasons, we have to understand that each house often displays different signs of structural issues that come from rotten Stumps. As a homeowner you have understand the history of your house and look out for signs.
In the case that you feel your subfloor stumps are starting to rot, it is good to bring in an expert and conduct an assessment to check the condition of the stumps. If early preventive action is not taken, this often results in partial or total collapse in the structure of your house.

Types of Restumping
Wood Stumps vs Concrete Stumps vs Steel Stumps
The most popular method of Restumping is often done by using Steel stumps or Concrete Stumps. Either of these provide better support and last longer than that of wood. Steel and Concrete are not susceptible to the same weaknesses that wood often has with soil. Change in temperature, increased humidity, rainfall, floods, and many other environmental factors can cause Wood Stumps to deteriorate in quality.
While Galvanised Steel and Concrete are much stronger against harsher environment and are resistant to things like termites, and long term warping. An advantage that come with Steel Stumps are that they are adjustable on site which makes installation easier taking less time and effort. Regardless, Restumping is a difficult and dirty job, which requires experienced professionals to handle the task for a stronger structure.

Testimonial
Client Says
Here from what our client had to say about us and the quality of work along with the Professionalism of our team.
Bill was very professional and punctual. I don't know anything about underpinning or re-piering and he took the time to explain and allow me to understand what the process will be. I had 2 other contractors have a look and quote me and after meeting with Bill, I realised they took advantage of my lack of knowledge and literally tried to rip me off. Bill's honesty and service is 2nd to NONE!!!
