Specialist Team at Vic Metro Underpinning & Restumping – Ensuring Stability and Reliability for Ballarat Homes

Restumping is the process of excavating, replacing and reinforcing the foundation stumps. Stumps are commonly found in older houses or those built on sloping blocks, as they are capable of being adjusted individually to provide a flat surface for buildings to sit on.

Vic Metro Underpinning & Restumping’s expert team will make sure your home or business is fully safe and supported during the restumping process, using carefully placed hydraulic jacks. Our structural engineers will perform a full assessment of your foundation prior to any work being carried out to ensure that every issue is detected and corrected. No matter how big or small your foundation needs are, we are dedicated to providing you with top-quality service.

Signs That Indicate Your Home Needs Restumping in Ballarat and How Vic Metro Underpinning & Restumping Can Help

When your foundation becomes unstable, you usually won’t be able to detect it by looking at it; after all, it’s underground. Instead, there are signs that will appear in and around your building you can keep an eye out for, such as:

Creaking, splitting or uneven floors
Doors and windows becoming difficult to open, close or lock
Cracks on internal or external walls
Gaps appearing around window frames

If you notice any of these issues appearing, it’s important to have your foundation assessed quickly. Ignoring these signs can mean a more costly and time-consuming repair later on.
