House Restumping in Kew
Have you noticed your floors feeling a bit uneven, cracks starting to show in your walls, or doors that just won’t close properly? These are common signs that your home’s foundation might need some attention. Lots of homes in Kew were built on timber stumps, and over time, especially with the local clay soils, these can start to rot or shift, causing problems.
At Southern Stumping & Underpinning, we specialise in restumping, also known as reblocking, homes here in Kew. We replace those old, worn-out timber stumps with strong, long-lasting concrete or steel ones that are built to handle the local soil conditions and keep your home safe and steady for years to come.
Our restumping approach
We take care of everything from start to finish, making sure it’s smooth and hassle-free for you:
- We start by inspecting your subfloor to see what’s going on
- If needed, we do soil tests and bring in engineers to make sure we get it right
- We handle all the permits with Boroondara Council or whoever is needed
- Old stumps are removed carefully with as little disruption as possible
- We install new concrete or galvanised steel stumps that suit the ground conditions perfectly
- Floors are levelled precisely so your home feels solid again
- And finally, we provide certification so everything’s up to code and ready for resale or peace of mind
Underpinning vs Restumping
Sometimes the problem isn’t the stumps but the footings themselves sinking or moving — especially in brick or multi-storey homes. In these cases, underpinning is the way to go. It strengthens and stabilises the existing foundation to stop further damage.
We carry out thorough engineering checks, manage all the paperwork, and do the underpinning work tailored just for your home.
