Re-Stumping in The Rocks
Preserve Heritage. Reinforce Foundations. Restore Peace of Mind.
Living in
The Rocks and seeing cracks in your walls, sloping timber floors, or windows that stick? These aren’t quirks—they’re warnings. We specialise in expert
house levelling for homes in The Rocks, with over 20 years of experience restoring structural integrity to some of Sydney’s oldest and most historic properties.
What Is Re-Stumping, and Do You Need It?
Re-stumping—also called underpinning or restumping—is the process of replacing old or damaged stumps (piers) beneath your home with stronger, longer-lasting materials. It’s essential when your existing stumps have rotted, shifted, or sunk due to age or unstable ground.
In The Rocks, homes are especially vulnerable due to:
- Timber stumps that have decayed over time
- Mixed or unstable soil beneath historic foundations
- Excess moisture from poor drainage or nearby water tables
- Tree roots disturbing footings
- Vibration from foot traffic, construction, or proximity to roads
Our team carefully lifts your home, removes compromised stumps, and replaces them with modern, durable options—without damaging your structure or compromising heritage elements.
Signs That Your Home in The Rocks Needs Re-Stumping
Older homes often give subtle clues that their foundations are struggling. Look out for:
- Uneven or sloping timber floors
- Creaky, soft, or “bouncy” spots underfoot
- Doors and windows that stick or swing open
- Cracks in plaster, tiles, or external brickwork
- Gaps between floorboards and skirting
- Visible sagging or movement under the house
With so many homes in The Rocks built on timber stumps and mixed materials, regular checks are essential. The earlier we intervene, the less invasive and more cost-effective the fix.

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.

FAQs for The Rocks Homeowners
Will re-stumping damage my heritage home?
No. We use heritage-sensitive tools and low-vibration methods to ensure the structure is preserved while the foundation is reinforced.
Can you access under small or low-clearance homes?
Yes. We specialise in tight-access work, especially in historic terraces and semis.
Do I need council or heritage approval?
Sometimes—especially if the home is listed. We can help guide you through the process or work with your heritage consultant or architect.
