Re-Stumping Services in Coogee
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Living by the coast has its perks but it also means extra moisture, shifting soil, and ageing stumps beneath your home. If you’re noticing soft floors, musty smells, or cracks around door frames, it’s time to consider re-stumping in Coogee.
We’re Sydney’s trusted structural repair team, with 20+ years of experience re-stumping coastal and heritage homes.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also known as restumping) is the process of removing old, damaged or sinking stumps from beneath your home and replacing them with durable supports usually concrete or galvanised steel. This restores the level of your floors and stops further structural damage.
Why homes in Coogee often need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have rotted from moisture or termite activity
- Coastal soil conditions have caused footing movement
- Tree roots have pushed or lifted existing piers
- DIY or outdated stump work has failed
- Recent renovations put extra pressure on old foundations
If left untreated, failing stumps can lead to major foundation damage and expensive repair work down the track.
Signs Your Coogee Home May Need Re-Stumping
Catching early warning signs can save you time, money, and stress. Look out for:
- Uneven, sloping, or bouncing floors
- Doors or windows sticking or not lining up
- Cracks forming above door frames or corners
- Gaps between walls and floorboards
- Musty smells or visible damp under the home
- Stumps that look cracked, leaning, or deteriorated
If you’ve spotted one or more of these, book a professional inspection.

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.
