House Restumping

Restumping or reblocking is the replacement of rotted and defective stumps which cause structural damage to your home with new long lasting concrete stumps.

House restumping may involve the releveling of floor areas and could entail the replacement of subfloor timbers and floor boards.

On average a timber home normally has about 80 stumps and a brick veneer home normally contains about 60

Many houses that were built more than 30 years ago most likely have timber stumps that can sink into soil or become rotted over time causing damages to the house.

You may need to have house restumping if :

  • Your windows and doors are stuck and not closing
  • Your floors are sloping
  • You have cracks in your walls
  • Your gutter is not even

At First and Last Reblocking Melbourne, our house restumpers are experts in house stump repairs and house leveling.

Our service includes:

  • removing sole plates
  • excavating soil to reduce the chance of future rotting of subfloor timbers if there is less than 150mm clearance underneath your house
  • concrete stumps installation

The life expectancy of the stumps depends on the type of timber, soil conditions, drainage and insect attack. It can vary from 20 to 60 years.

You can count on our team of reblockers to offer you the best service, do their job perfectly, choose the best quality of stumps and ensure it lasts the longest.

Underpinning

Underpinning is the reinforcement of the house foundation in order to protect its structural stability.

The original foundation might lose its strength or stability over time for many reasons, such as soil changes or insufficient amount of concrete originally used.

You may need a house underpinning if:

  • Your home foundation is weak and not stable
  • Your home begins to tilt or lean
  • You have cracks in the exterior brickwork
  • Your doors and windows are not easily opening and closing

Our experts at First and Last Reblocking Melbourne will inspect your house to determine if it needs underpinning.

Then, they will add extra support to your existing foundation to strength it creating a solid foundation below your house to support it and stabilize it, preventing any further movement.
