Re-Stumping Services in Dulwich Hill
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Dulwich Hill is full of beautifully aged bungalows, semis, and federation-style homes. But underneath many of these properties are subfloor stumps that have deteriorated with time. If your home has sagging floors, cracks in the walls, or jammed doors, it might be time for re-stumping in Dulwich Hill. We provide expert structural repairs to restore your home’s stability and peace of mind.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also called restumping or house relevelling) is the process of replacing damaged or sunken support stumps under your home. We install long-lasting concrete or galvanised steel replacements to relevel floors, stop structural movement, and protect the integrity of your house.
Why homes in Dulwich Hill often need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have rotted or been affected by termites
- Soil movement in clay-rich areas has shifted foundations
- Past DIY or outdated repairs are now failing
- Tree roots or drainage issues have disturbed footings
- Renovations or additional storeys have stressed old structures
If your home hasn’t been restumped in decades, it’s worth having the subfloor assessed.
Signs Your Dulwich Hill Home May Need Re-Stumping
Here are common indicators we see in older Dulwich Hill homes:
- Floors feel soft, sloped or uneven
- Doors and windows no longer close properly
- Cracks are forming in walls, ceilings or exterior bricks
- Gaps are appearing between skirting and flooring
- Musty smells or signs of dampness under the home
- Visible damage to subfloor stumps (cracks, leaning, rot)
These are early warnings that your foundations are shifting — and that action is needed before further damage sets in.

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.
