Re-Stumping Sydney – Secure Your Home from the Ground Up
If your home is sitting on ageing, rotten, or damaged stumps, it’s not just a matter of uneven floors—your entire structure could be at risk. At Sydney House Levelling, we provide professional re-stumping services that restore stability, safety, and long-term support to your home.
What Is Re-Stumping – and Why It Matters
Re-stumping (sometimes called reblocking) involves removing old or failed stumps beneath your home and replacing them with durable new supports—usually concrete or steel. Most older Sydney homes were built on timber stumps, which over time are prone to rot, termite attack, and movement due to changing soil conditions.
Common Signs Include
- Sagging or sloping floors
- Gaps in skirting boards or walls
- Cracks in plaster or brickwork
- Long-term structural instability
- Doors and windows that stick
Our
re-stumping Sydney team will inspect your
sub-floor, identify which stumps have failed, and provide a plan to bring your home back to a safe and level position.
House Re-Stumping Sydney
With over 20 years of on-the-tools experience, we’ve re-stumped hundreds of homes across Sydney, from classic timber cottages to post-war brick houses. Whether your property needs partial or full stump replacement, we’ll tailor a long-lasting solution to suit your structure and soil.
Our Proven Re-Stumping Process
Every home and soil type is different, which is why our process is fully customised. Here’s how we typically approach re-stumping in Sydney:
- Site inspection and sub-floor assessment
- Identify stump material (timber, concrete, steel) and layout
- Carefully jack and support the house during work
- Remove old stumps and install new, load-bearing replacements
- Laser-level the structure for precision
- Check floors, walls, and doors for proper alignment
- Provide a post-work report and clean-up
Re-stumping is often the first step before additional structural services like house relevelling, underpinning, or sub-floor repair. We’ll let you know if any other issues need to be addressed along the way.

Do You Need Re-Stumping? Key Warning Signs
You might need re-stumping if you’ve noticed:
- Floors that feel springy, soft, or uneven
- Cracks appearing in internal or external walls
- Doors and windows no longer fitting properly
- Visible stump rot, rust, or termite activity
- Gaps between floorboards or under skirting
- A general “lean” or slope in parts of your home
Early action prevents further structural damage and avoids more expensive repairs down the line. If you're unsure, we offer
professional foundation assessments to inspect and diagnose any sub-floor issues.
House Relevelling Specialists
Old or damaged timber stumps can shift over time, causing floors to dip and frames to twist. We remove failing stumps and install strong, modern replacements—ensuring your home is safely supported and structurally sound for decades to come.
Re-Stumping
When foundations are no longer strong enough to support your home, underpinning adds the reinforcement needed to stabilise and secure your property. We use engineered solutions to extend your footing into stable soil and stop further movement.
Underpinning
For lighter structures or concrete slabs, resin injection is a fast, non-invasive way to stabilise sunken ground. This method lifts and strengthens foundations by injecting an expanding resin that fills gaps under the home—ideal for driveways, patios, and parts of the house affected by soft or shifting soil.
Resin Injection
Foundation Repair Services
We inspect, repair, and upgrade the beams, bearers, and joists under your home to make sure everything’s structurally sound. If you’ve noticed bouncy or noisy floors, it might be time to look beneath the surface.
Sub-Floor Works
Ventilation
Moisture trapped under your home can lead to mould, timber decay, and structural problems. We install smart sub-floor ventilation systems that keep air moving and dampness out—helping protect your investment.
Not sure what’s causing movement in your home? We offer professional foundation inspections to identify the issue. Our team provides a clear, jargon-free report with real advice and no pressure.

FAQs – Re-Stumping Sydney

In most cases, yes. Our team works safely and efficiently with minimal disruption. We’ll let you know if temporary relocation is recommended for large or complex jobs.
What’s the difference between re-stumping and house levelling?
Re-stumping replaces failed supports under your home, while house levelling may also involve lifting or adjusting other parts of the foundation. They’re often done together for full restoration.

Do you provide warranties?
