Re-Stumping Services in Chatswood
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Chatswood homes—whether classic federation houses, timber weatherboards, or older brick cottages—often sit on ageing timber or brick stumps that have deteriorated over time. If you’ve noticed sloping floors, cracking walls or doors that don’t close properly, it may be time for expert re-stumping in Chatswood. Our team delivers structural repairs designed to keep your home safe and level for years to come.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also called house relevelling or restumping) involves removing old, damaged, or sunken stumps beneath your home and replacing them with stronger galvanised steel or concrete supports. This restores structural stability, prevents further movement, and protects your home from ongoing damage.
Why homes in Chatswood often need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have rotted due to age, moisture or termites
- Brick piers have cracked or sunk due to clay-heavy soil movement
- Old renovations have placed extra stress on original supports
- Poor drainage or tree root intrusion has affected footings
- Homes built decades ago have never had their stumps replaced
Many
Chatswood homes were built before modern foundation standards—making subfloor inspections essential.
Signs Your Chatswood Home May Need Re-Stumping
Look out for these common warning signs of failing stumps:
- Uneven, sloping or spongy floors
- Doors and windows that stick or don’t align
- Cracks in walls, ceilings or exterior brickwork
- Gaps forming between flooring and skirting boards
- Musty odours, mould or damp under the house
- Visible stump movement, leaning or decay
If you’re noticing these issues, early intervention can save you from major repairs later.

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.
