HOUSE RESTUMPING

Over a period of time any physical structure develops cracks and other signs of wear and tear in its foundations. Since the foundation is one of the most important structural features of a building, any issues found in it should be fixed immediately. And if the structure is a home, then the foundation needs to be restumped without any further delay.

The stumps are vulnerable

Why You Need House Restumping

Most houses in Melbourne use either wooden or concrete stumps as a foundation to support the structure that sits above the ground. The stumps are vulnerable to rotting, deterioration, and cracks. When the wear and tear affects the foundation, the house becomes an unsafe and unstable structure to live in. Restumping is the process where our experts fix any issues with the foundation by bolstering it with new stumps.

We offer multiple services

The Services We Provide

At Melbournerestumping, we take care of all aspects related to providing a new foundation for your home. They include:

Choosing the type of stumps

Homes are built on either concrete or timber stumps. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is more cost effective than the latter and can be used in damp conditions where the metal reinforcements of concrete stumps tend to rust and expand. The disadvantage of timer stumps is that their life expectancy is relatively shorter, when compared to their concrete cousin. Another drawback of the wooden variety is that it cannot be firmly secured to the bearers as concrete stumps. Our contractors analyse the soil type and the ground conditions before suggesting an appropriate type of stump.
