Re-Stumping Services in Neutral Bay
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Neutral Bay homes—whether classic weatherboards, split-level brick builds or heritage cottages—often hide ageing stumps beneath. If your floors slope, creak, or your doors no longer shut properly, it may be time for professional re-stumping in Neutral Bay. Our licensed team restores stability with precision, care, and long-term structural protection.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also known as house relevelling or restumping) involves replacing the deteriorated support stumps under your home with new galvanised steel or concrete stumps. This corrects uneven floors, supports the structure, and prevents damage caused by ground movement or rot.
Common reasons homes in Neutral Bay need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps are cracked, rotted, or sinking
- Brick or concrete piers have shifted on clay-heavy soil
- Ground movement from drainage issues or nearby excavations
- Past renovations weren’t properly reinforced
- Subfloor decay due to poor ventilation or moisture build-up
Neutral Bay’s steep blocks, mix of soil types, and older properties make regular subfloor checks essential.
Signs Your Neutral Bay Home May Need Re-Stumping
You don’t need to be under the house to notice the early signs of subfloor issues:
- Sloping or spongy floors
- Doors or windows that jam or won’t stay shut
- Cracks in walls, ceilings, or exterior brickwork
- Gaps between skirting boards and floorboards
- Musty smells, signs of damp or mould under the house
- Visible stump movement, leaning or splitting
If left unchecked, these issues can lead to costly structural repairs and unsafe living conditions.

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.
