The stumps supporting your home can rot, crack, sink or shift over time, particularly in older Newcastle and Hunter homes. When house stump replacement is overdue, you may notice uneven floors, doors and windows that no longer open properly, cracks or movement throughout the home.
Newcastle Foundation Repairs inspects your existing stumps and the areas affected to work out what needs to be done. Where stumps need to be replaced or repaired, we carry out restumping and re-piering with a focus on quality workmanship and the long-term stability of your home. We explain what we find, and what the job involves, before any work starts.
Your home depends on its foundation supports, so restumping is not something to leave to guesswork. As local restumpers serving Newcastle, Maitland and the Hunter Valley, we provide qualified and fully insured workmanship and keep you informed from inspection through to completion.
Restumping replaces the existing foundation stumps under a house when they have rotted, cracked, sunk or stopped supporting the home properly.
Re-piering replaces or repairs the piers or supports beneath a home to restore stability where the existing foundation system has been affected.
Signs include uneven or sloping floors, sticking doors and windows, cracks and visible movement. An inspection is the best way to confirm whether the stumps are the cause.
Restumping cost depends on site access first, then the number of stumps, the height under the house and any extra repairs. Depending on the project we quote the whole job or price per pier. We inspect first and give you a clear quote, so you know what is included before you commit.
The timeframe depends on the size of the property, the number of stumps involved and the scope of work. We can give you a realistic estimate after we have inspected your home.
Not necessarily. The condition of your existing stumps and the extent of the problem determine whether you need a few stumps replaced or a full restump.
If failing or uneven stumps are contributing to the problem, restumping or re-piering can restore support and improve the level of the home. The cause needs to be assessed first.
