Re-Stumping Services in Ashfield
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Ashfield’s charming federation homes and weatherboard cottages are built to last — but many are sitting on timber stumps that haven’t. If you’ve noticed bouncy floors, wall cracks, or doors that won’t shut properly, your home may need re-stumping in Ashfield. We deliver tailored structural repairs that restore stability and protect your home’s value.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also known as house relevelling or restumping) is the process of removing old, damaged, or sunken stumps beneath your home and replacing them with modern, long-lasting alternatives like concrete or galvanised steel. It’s essential to restoring structural integrity — especially in older Inner West homes.
Why Ashfield homes often need re-stumping:
- Original timber stumps have decayed over decades
- Movement in clay or sandy soil is causing uneven floors
- Renovations or second-storey additions have stressed the subfloor
- Poor drainage or root intrusion is compromising foundations
- Past repairs weren’t built to current standards
Many homes in
Ashfield haven’t had their stumps touched since they were first built — and it shows.
Signs Your Ashfield Home May Need Re-Stumping
If you’re noticing any of the following issues, your home may need a professional foundation assessment:
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that stick or don’t close
- Cracks in internal walls, ceiling cornices or external bricks
- Gaps forming between walls and floorboards
- Musty smells, dampness or visible moisture under the house
- Timber stumps that appear cracked, leaning, or soft
These issues often worsen with time — and can lead to major repair costs if left unchecked.

House Relevelling Specialists
Old or damaged timber stumps can shift over time, causing floors to dip and frames to twist. We remove failing stumps and install strong, modern replacements—ensuring your home is safely supported and structurally sound for decades to come.
Re-Stumping
When foundations are no longer strong enough to support your home, underpinning adds the reinforcement needed to stabilise and secure your property. We use engineered solutions to extend your footing into stable soil and stop further movement.
Underpinning
For lighter structures or concrete slabs, resin injection is a fast, non-invasive way to stabilise sunken ground. This method lifts and strengthens foundations by injecting an expanding resin that fills gaps under the home—ideal for driveways, patios, and parts of the house affected by soft or shifting soil.
