Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Many of
Summer Hill’s beautiful older homes have stood the test of time — but their original subfloor stumps haven’t. If you’re noticing sloping floors, hard-to-close doors, or cracks in your walls, it may be time for professional re-stumping in Summer Hill. Our team specialises in structural repairs that preserve your home’s character while securing its foundation.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (also known as house relevelling or restumping) involves removing your home’s deteriorated or sunken support stumps and replacing them with modern concrete or galvanised steel alternatives. This restores level flooring, eliminates movement, and prevents long-term structural issues.
Why Summer Hill homes often need re-stumping:
- Original timber stumps have rotted or weakened over time
- Reactive Inner West soils have caused shifting foundations
- Older DIY repairs were never built to today’s standards
- Drainage issues or tree roots have impacted footings
- Renovations have increased subfloor stress
If your home hasn’t been assessed in decades, now is the time to check what’s happening underneath..
Signs Your Summer Hill Home May Need Re-Stumping
We commonly see the following issues in Summer Hill and surrounding suburbs:
- Floors that slope, bounce or creak
- Cracks forming in plaster, tiles, or brickwork
- Doors and windows that stick or sit unevenly
- Gaps between flooring and skirting
- A musty smell or visible moisture in the subfloor area
- Stumps that look cracked, leaning or deteriorated
Even small signs of movement can turn into big problems if ignored.

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.

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.
