Re-Stumping Services in Surry Hills
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Noticing sagging floors, creaky boards, or cracks around door frames? These could be signs your home’s subfloor stumps are deteriorating. We offer expert re-stumping in Surry Hills—backed by 20+ years of experience, tailored solutions, and structural results that last.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
If your home feels uneven, your floors bounce, or your doors and windows are misaligned, your stumps may be the issue.
Re-stumping is the process of removing old, damaged or rotting support stumps beneath your home and replacing them with new, longer-lasting materials. It restores stability, corrects floor levels, and prevents further movement.
Common reasons Surry Hills homes need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps rotting from moisture or termite damage
- Brick or concrete piers settling unevenly
- Tree roots pushing up under the subfloor
- Soil movement from poor drainage or reactive clay
- Previous DIY restumping or outdated construction
Homes in Surry Hills — especially heritage terraces and older timber dwellings — are especially vulnerable due to age, tight subfloors, and inner-city soil conditions.
Signs That Your Surry Hills Home Needs Re-Stumping
Catching the early signs of stump failure helps prevent major structural problems later. Look for:
- Sloping or soft floors
- Floorboards that creak, bounce, or feel unstable
- Cracks around internal doors or ceiling lines
- Windows or doors that stick or drag
- Musty smells or moisture under the home
- Gaps between walls and skirting boards
- Visible stump decay or leaning piers
If you notice one or more of these, it’s time for a professional assessment.

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.
