Every home settles differently, so no two restumping projects are exactly the same. Some properties require only a handful of damaged stumps to be replaced, while others benefit from a complete restumping depending on the age and condition of the existing foundation. Before work begins, the subfloor is inspected to identify deteriorated timber, uneven load distribution and any signs of moisture damage that may have contributed to the problem. Depending on the property, replacement stumps may be timber, concrete or steel, with each option suited to different conditions and budgets. During the process, hydraulic jacks are carefully used to support and gradually lift the home where appropriate before new stumps are installed. It's also common for homeowners in Ringwood, Box Hill, Bentleigh and Dandenong to combine restumping with house levelling or subfloor repairs while access beneath the home is available.
