Re-Stumping Services in Marrickville
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Homes in
Marrickville are full of character — but many are sitting on ageing stumps that have shifted, rotted, or sunk over time. If your floors are sloping, creaking, or you’re spotting cracks in your walls or around door frames, it may be time for professional re-stumping in Marrickville. We restore structural stability with tailored, long-lasting solutions.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (or restumping) is the process of replacing the deteriorated stumps that support your home with new, engineered concrete or galvanised steel stumps. This lifts sagging floors, corrects structural movement, and prevents long-term damage to your home’s framework.
Why Marrickville homes often need re-stumping:
- Original timber stumps have decayed from moisture or termites
- Inner West clay soils expand and contract, causing stump movement
- Old renovations have stressed outdated subfloor structures
- Poor drainage or tree roots have disturbed the footings
- Previous repairs weren’t built to current standards
Many homes in
Marrickville were built in the early 1900s or mid-century — and most have never had their stumps replaced.
Signs Your Marrickville Home Needs Re-Stumping
If you’re unsure whether it’s time to restump, here are the warning signs to look for:
- Floors feel soft, bouncy, or noticeably sloped
- Cracks appear in internal walls, cornices, or brickwork
- Doors and windows jam or don’t align
- Skirting boards are pulling away from floorboards
- Musty smells or visible moisture under your home
- Stumps are cracked, leaning, or visibly deteriorated
These issues won’t fix themselves — and the sooner you act, the more affordable the fix.
We’ve worked on hundreds of homes across the Inner West and understand the unique structural conditions, tight access, and building styles that Marrickville presents.

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.
