Darlinghurst, tailored for inner-city terraces and ageing subfloors. With over 20 years of experience and hundreds of homes levelled, we’re the team Sydney trusts to get it right — first time.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
f your home feels off balance, the floors bounce, or doors just don’t close like they used to, your subfloor stumps could be the issue.
Re-stumping (also called restumping) is the process of removing old, damaged or rotted support stumps and replacing them with new, durable ones — usually concrete or galvanised steel. It restores your home’s level and structural safety.
Common reasons Darlinghurst homes need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps rotting from moisture or termites
- Uneven settling of brick or concrete piers
- Soil movement under footings due to drainage issues
- Tree root invasion
- Poor-quality or outdated original footings
Don’t wait until the damage gets worse. Structural issues only become more expensive over time.
Signs That Your Darlinghurst Home Needs Re-Stumping
Subtle signs now can prevent major damage later. Keep an eye out for:
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Creaky, soft, or “spongy” flooring
- Doors or windows jamming or not shutting
- Gaps opening between walls and skirtings
- Musty smells or damp under the floor
- Visible stump deterioration or leaning piers
Older terrace homes in Darlinghurst are especially prone to subfloor movement due to age, moisture, and limited ventilation.

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.
