Melbourne Restumping and Reblocking.

Let us show you what our restumping & Releveling can do! Call Charles today 0418 173 644.

Restumping, alternatively known as Reblocking, is the process of replacing timber stumps with concrete stumps (or steel if required). Most Pre-1960’s buildings were constructed using Red Gum timber stumps, which over time rot in the ground and eventually fail to adequately hold the building. If the floors are not level,we lift and level the home during the restumping/ reblocking process.

If your home was built prior to the 1960’s and is still supported by timber stumps and you intend to renovate your home contact us today for a free inspection of your stumps and foundations.

Our restumping, reblocking & leveling services are above industry standards and tolerances we are fully registered and insured.

“my house has concrete stumps but has moved” Houses built post 1960s generally had cocrete stumps fitted. Over time the concrete stumps can move due to the movement within the clay soils found in most areas of Melbourne. Correcting floor levels by lifting the home and packing the concrete stumps is a common procedure. Commonly know as “Jack and Pack” or “Lift and Pack” We use industry approved plastic packers when packing existing concrete stumps.

“How do you level my home” Building Levels are typically taken by measuring off fixed points within the building. In weatherboard homes a fixed point would be the brick based fireplace. In a Brickveneer home the external walls are classed as a fixed point.

All restumping works require a Building Permit issued by a registered Building Serveyor.
