House Restumping in Glen Waverley
If your Glen Waverley home is showing signs of movement, such as sagging floors, cracks in walls or sticking doors, there’s a good chance the foundation needs attention. Many houses built in the area between the 1950s and 1980s were constructed on timber stumps, which are prone to rotting and shifting over time, especially in areas affected by reactive clay soils.
At Southern Stumping & Underpinning, we specialise in restoring structural integrity to Glen Waverley homes through expert restumping services (also referred to as reblocking). With over 50 years of local experience, we’ve worked on a wide range of homes, including classic weatherboards and split-level brick properties on sloping blocks.

We manage the entire process from start to finish with a strong focus on quality workmanship — no shortcuts, no surprises.
- Initial assessment of your home’s subfloor condition
- Soil testing and engineering if required
- Organising permits with Monash Council or relevant authorities
- Removal of old stumps with minimal disruption
- Installation of new concrete or galvanised steel stumps
- Precise levelling to restore your floors
- Compliance certification for legal and resale peace of mind
Underpinning in Glen Waverley
You might not need restumping if the problem lies with your home’s foundation footings sinking or shifting rather than the timber stumps themselves. This is often the case with brick or double-storey houses where cracks in walls, gaps in brickwork, or uneven floors suggest underpinning is required. While restumping involves replacing the timber stumps that support your home, underpinning focuses on strengthening and stabilising the existing footings to ensure lasting structural stability.
Our team performs detailed engineering inspections, handles permits, and completes underpinning work carefully to keep your home safe.
