What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?


Re-stumping (also known as restumping) is the process of removing deteriorated or sinking support stumps under your home and replacing them with durable concrete or galvanised steel stumps. This restores your home’s level and prevents further structural damage.


Why Clovelly homes often need re-stumping:

  • Timber stumps rotting due to age, termites or moisture
  • Salt-heavy air and sandy soil causing stump movement
  • Older footings not suited to modern building standards
  • Tree root intrusion under the subfloor
  • Poor drainage leading to subfloor instability


Homes in Clovelly’s beachside streets, from weatherboard cottages to brick duplexes are especially vulnerable to stump decay.

Under a raised wooden structure, a brick support pier stands on soil and debris.

Signs Your Clovelly Home May Need Re-Stumping

Not sure if it’s time? Here are common warning signs we see in homes around Clovelly:


  • Uneven or sloping floors
  • Floors that feel bouncy, creaky or soft underfoot
  • Cracks in plaster or brickwork, especially around windows and doors
  • Doors and windows that stick or no longer close properly
  • Gaps opening between skirting boards and the floor
  • Musty smells or visible mould in the subfloor
  • Timber stumps that are visibly cracked, leaning, or sinking



Catching these issues early means fewer repairs and a safer home long-term.

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.

Foundation Repair Services


We inspect, repair, and upgrade the beams, bearers, and joists under your home to make sure everything’s structurally sound. If you’ve noticed bouncy or noisy floors, it might be time to look beneath the surface.


Sub-Floor Works


Ventilation

Moisture trapped under your home can lead to mould, timber decay, and structural problems. We install smart sub-floor ventilation systems that keep air moving and dampness out—helping protect your investment.
