Re-Stumping Services in Leichhardt
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
From federation terraces to freestanding homes, Leichhardt properties often rest on timber stumps or brick piers that have been holding on for decades. If your floors feel uneven, your walls are cracking, or your doors won’t close properly, it may be time for expert re-stumping in Leichhardt. Our team delivers durable subfloor solutions tailored to Inner West homes.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also called restumping or house relevelling) involves removing the existing subfloor stumps under your home and replacing them with new, modern supports — typically galvanised steel or reinforced concrete. This process corrects floor movement, restores structure, and prevents further damage to your home’s frame.
Common reasons Leichhardt homes need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have rotted, split, or sunk
- Inner West clay soils have shifted and caused uneven settlement
- Past renovations or added storeys have overloaded old stumps
- Tree roots or drainage issues have compromised stability
- DIY or legacy repairs weren’t done to spec
If your home hasn’t been assessed in 30+ years, it could be time for a subfloor inspection.
Signs Your Leichhardt Home May Need Re-Stumping
Here’s what to watch out for in homes throughout Leichhardt:
- Sloping or bouncy floors underfoot
- Doors that stick, scrape, or don’t close properly
- Cracks forming in internal plaster or external brickwork
- Gaps between flooring and skirting
- Musty odours or visible moisture under the house
- Stumps that appear cracked, leaning, or deteriorated
These signs are often the first clue that something’s not right beneath your floorboards.

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.
