Re-Stumping Services in Petersham
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Petersham’s charming federation homes and older terraces come with character—but many also come with ageing stumps under the floor. If you’ve noticed your floors sloping, creaking, or your doors sticking, it might be time for professional re-stumping in Petersham. We provide structural repair solutions designed for Inner West homes that last for decades.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also known as house relevelling or restumping) involves removing old or damaged subfloor stumps and replacing them with stronger supports—typically galvanised steel or concrete. This process restores your home’s level, corrects movement, and protects against long-term structural damage.
Common reasons Petersham homes need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have rotted due to moisture or termites
- Soil movement from clay expansion has caused sinking
- Previous extensions weren’t adequately supported
- Tree roots have displaced or cracked stumps
- Brick piers have begun leaning or crumbling
These issues are common in heritage suburbs like
Petersham, where many homes haven’t been re-stumped in 50+ years.
Signs Your Petersham Home May Need Re-Stumping
Watch for these common warning signs in homes across the Inner West:
- Uneven, sloping or bouncy floors
- Doors and windows that jam or won’t close
- Cracks forming in walls, ceilings, or brickwork
- Gaps between flooring and skirting
- Musty smells, mould or poor airflow under the home
- Visible damage to stumps (splitting, rot, movement)
If you’re not sure, we can carry out a full foundation assessment to diagnose the problem.

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.
