Re-Stumping Services in Newtow
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Newtown is known for its character-filled terraces and period homes — but beneath that charm, many of these houses are sitting on ageing or damaged stumps. If you’ve noticed creaky floors, wall cracks, or doors that stick, it might be time to book professional re-stumping in Newtown. We restore stability from the ground up — using 20+ years of experience and structural solutions that last.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also known as restumping or house relevelling) involves replacing your home’s original timber or concrete support stumps with modern, durable ones — usually galvanised steel or engineered concrete. This corrects sloping floors, addresses structural movement, and protects your property from further damage.
Why homes in Newtown often need re-stumping:
- Original timber stumps have rotted over time
- Clay soils in the Inner West are causing stump movement
- Tight-access renovations have disrupted subfloor integrity
- Tree roots or moisture have damaged footings
- DIY fixes weren’t up to structural standards
Many
Newtown homes still have original footings that were never designed for today’s loads — especially after renovations or extensions.
Signs Your Newtown Home May Need Re-Stumping
These are common signs of subfloor failure that we frequently see in the Inner West:
- Floors feel sloped, bouncy or uneven underfoot
- Cracks appear in internal walls or external brickwork
- Windows and doors stick or don’t close properly
- Gaps between skirting boards and floorboards
- Mould, damp smells, or visible rot in the subfloor area
- Timber stumps that are leaning, cracked, or deteriorated

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.
