Restumping is the process of completely removing and replacing the existing foundations of your home to restore the structural integrity of the building. The process is also known as reblocking and is necessary because the stumps beneath your home can degrade over time, leading to a range of issues. Restumping will ensure the foundations of your house are level and that the new stumps are stronger and longer lasting than ever.
Restumping services generally involve removing floorboards from your home to get access to the old stumps. Our team will then position hydraulic jacks to support your home, dig out and remove the existing stumps, and install brand new foundations. Once the new foundations are positioned, everything can be put back in place. Restumping is often recommended as the first step in wider renovations or home extensions.
When Would a Property Need Restumping or Reblocking Services?
Just like with underpinning services, restumping is required when the foundations of your property have deteriorated. While underpinning focuses on strengthening the existing foundation, restumping services are required when the foundation needs to be completely replaced.
Foundation issues may occur due to shifting soil, poorly compacted site fill, soil erosion, changes in the slope of your block, and issues caused by large trees, inadequate foundation design, extension and renovation work, or disruption due to nearby construction or natural disasters.
Signs that you have foundation issues and might need restumping services include:
- Cracks in internal walls
- Large cracks in the external brickwork of your home
- Windows and doors that don’t open or close properly
- Difficulties with the flooring, such as bent, sloped, or uneven flooring
- Water around the foundation of the home
- And more
