Re-Stumping Services in Waverley
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Waverley homes are full of character, but many of them are sitting on ageing stumps that have seen better days.
If you’ve noticed sagging floors, cracks in walls, or musty smells beneath the house, it’s time to consider re-stumping in Waverley. We provide structural solutions that protect your property and restore stability done properly, with no shortcuts.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (or restumping) involves removing damaged or deteriorated support stumps beneath your home and replacing them with stronger concrete or galvanised steel stumps. It levels your floors, corrects movement, and prevents long-term structural damage.
Why homes in Waverley often need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps rotting from moisture, termites or age
- Movement caused by clay-based or sandy coastal soils
- Poor original construction or outdated repairs
- Damage from tree roots under the subfloor
- Long-term wear and tear in older homes
Whether it’s a century-old cottage or a weatherboard home near the coast, we tailor our re-stumping approach to suit Waverley’s conditions.
Signs Your Waverley Home Needs Re-Stumping
Here are some common red flags to watch for — especially in older or renovated homes:
- Floors that slope, creak, or bounce underfoot
- Cracks forming above doors, windows or architraves
- Doors that stick or swing open on their own
- Gaps opening between walls and floorboards
- Musty, damp smells under the house
- Visible stump damage or leaning piers
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to book a professional inspection.

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.
