Re-Stumping Services in Woolloomooloo
Replace Failing Stumps. Stop Floor Movement. Safeguard Your Home.
Noticed your floors are sloping or bouncing underfoot? Seeing cracks around doors or uneven gaps along your skirting boards? These are common signs that your home’s support stumps are failing. We offer expert re-stumping in
Woolloomooloo, with 20+ years of experience working on heritage terraces, tight-access homes, and complex subfloor challenges.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping (or restumping) involves removing damaged, rotted, or unstable support stumps under your home and replacing them with durable, modern materials like galvanised steel or concrete. This process restores your floor’s level, strengthens your foundation, and prevents further movement or damage.
Common reasons Woolloomooloo homes need re-stumping:
- Timber stumps have deteriorated from age, damp or termites
- Brick or concrete piers have shifted unevenly
- Subfloor movement due to reactive clay or poor drainage
- Tree root damage beneath the foundation
- DIY work or poor construction in previous renovations
Older homes in Woolloomooloo, especially timber-framed terraces and workers’ cottages, are particularly susceptible to stump failure.
Signs That Your Woolloomooloo Home Needs Re-Stumping
Catching early signs can save you thousands in future repairs. Keep an eye out for:
- Sloping, bouncy, or “spongy” floors
- Cracks in plaster walls or above door frames
- Doors or windows that jam or drag
- Musty smells or visible moisture under the house
- Gaps between floorboards and skirting
- Exposed stumps that appear cracked, leaning or decayed
If you notice one or more of these, we recommend scheduling an inspection promptly.

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.
Resin Injection
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.
