From sandstone cottages to timber and brick homes, many properties in North Sydney are sitting on original subfloor stumps that are well past their use-by date.

Our team restores foundations with modern materials and methods—ensuring safety, stability, and long-term results.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also called restumping or house relevelling) is the process of replacing deteriorated, damaged, or sunken stumps under your home with new, durable ones—typically made from galvanised steel or reinforced concrete. This helps correct floor sloping, stop cracking, and restore structural stability.
Common reasons North Sydney homes need re-stumping:
- Ageing timber stumps have rotted or split
- Clay soil movement has caused sinking or tilting
- Renovation work has put extra pressure on old supports
- Water damage or poor ventilation has weakened foundations
- DIY or outdated repairs are no longer holding up
With many homes in
North Sydney built 50–100 years ago, stump deterioration is often hidden until symptoms appear.
Signs Your North Sydney Home May Need Re-Stumping
Here are the red flags to watch out for:
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Doors or windows that stick or don’t align
- Cracks in interior walls, ceilings, or exterior brickwork
- Gaps between flooring and skirting boards
- Musty smells or visible mould under the house
- Leaning or visibly deteriorated stumps in the subfloor
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to get a professional inspection before things worsen.

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.
