Re-Stumping Services in Crows Nest
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Crows Nest homes: whether federation cottages, older brick builds, or renovated terraces—are often sitting on ageing timber or brick stumps that are now failing. If you’ve noticed sloping floors, cracks in walls, or doors that won’t close properly, it could be time for professional re-stumping in Crows Nest. We deliver structural repairs that protect your home and keep it level for decades.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also called house relevelling or restumping) is the process of removing damaged or sunken stumps beneath your home and replacing them with modern galvanised steel or reinforced concrete stumps. This corrects floor sloping, prevents further movement, and keeps your home structurally sound.
Common reasons Crows Nest homes need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have rotted or split due to age or moisture
- Brick or concrete piers are cracking or leaning
- Ground movement from clay-rich soils or drainage issues
- Old extensions have overloaded the original subfloor
- Subfloor ventilation problems have caused decay or mould
With many homes in Crows Nest built decades ago, regular inspections are essential to catch stump failure early.
Signs Your Crows Nest Home May Need Re-Stumping
Here are the warning signs we frequently see in homes across the Lower North Shore:
- Uneven, bouncy, or sloping floors
- Doors and windows that jam or won’t latch properly
- Cracks forming in walls, ceilings, or external brickwork
- Gaps appearing between floors and skirting boards
- Musty odours, mould, or moisture beneath the house
- Visible stump damage such as leaning, cracking, or rot
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, book an assessment before minor issues turn into costly structural repairs.

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.

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.
