Re-Stumping in Pyrmont

Tight-Access Specialists. Stronger Foundations. Long-Term Peace of Mind.

From narrow terraces to converted warehouses and modern townhomes, Pyrmont homes present unique challenges beneath the surface. Many sit on ageing timber stumps, shallow brick piers, or older subfloors that weren’t designed to withstand today’s soil conditions, traffic, and moisture.


At Sydney House Levelling, we offer precision re-stumping for Pyrmont’s tight-access properties—backed by 20+ years of experience, heritage-safe methods, and fast, clean results that last. Whether you're dealing with sloping floors or creaking timber, we’ll help keep your structure solid and supported for years to come.

What Is Re-Stumping, and Why It’s Important in Pyrmont


Re-stumping is the process of replacing old or damaged stumps under your home with stronger, modern materials usually concrete, steel, or treated hardwood. These stumps form the foundation of your subfloor. If they fail, so does the structural integrity of your home.


Pyrmont properties are especially prone to stump failure due to:

  • Narrow or low-clearance access under homes
  • Timber stumps deteriorating from age or damp
  • Vibration from road traffic and nearby construction
  • Reactive soils or retained moisture under terraces
  • Legacy subfloors built before modern building codes


We work with both homeowners and strata groups to carry out low-impact re-stumping with minimal disruption and maximum long-term value.

Signs Your Pyrmont Home May Need Re-Stumping

Don’t wait for visible damage to take action—foundation problems start quietly. Watch for:




  • Floors that slope, squeak, or feel soft
  • Doors and windows that stick or don’t close cleanly
  • Visible gaps between walls and skirting boards
  • Cracks in tiles, plaster, or ceilings
  • Movement in piers, joists, or subfloor frames
  • Bouncy or uneven timber floors in older homes


If you’re noticing any of these signs in your Pyrmont property—especially in heritage terraces or warehouse conversions—book an expert inspection sooner rather than later.

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.

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.





Not sure what’s causing movement in your home? We offer professional foundation inspections to identify the issue. Our team provides a clear, jargon-free report with real advice and no pressure.
