Every stump replacement project begins with a detailed inspection beneath the property to identify which supports have deteriorated and whether surrounding structural components remain in good condition. Depending on the age and construction of the home, replacement stumps may be timber, concrete or galvanised steel. Hydraulic jacks are carefully positioned to support the building while damaged stumps are removed and new supports are installed. Once complete, the load is gradually transferred back onto the new stumps to ensure the home remains properly supported. During this process it's common to identify additional issues such as worn bearers, damaged joists or settlement that may also benefit from subfloor repairs or house levelling. Homeowners in Ringwood, Box Hill, Bentleigh and Dandenong often complete these related works at the same time.
