About Us

• If you have noticed that your floors and windows
  are no longer at the same level, it is important
  to hire a professional restumping service. This
  is because it will prevent incurring unnecessary
  costs and avoid any type of damage.
• In Australia, many homes are built on stumps made
  out of timber wood. These stumps can last for
  years but can also become weak over time if they
  are not cared for properly. Other factors like
  soil erosion and termite infestation can also
  cause your houses foundations to deteriorate.
  This means that they will no longer be able to
  provide the support necessary to keep your house
  standing straight and sturdy. Ultimately, this
  will result in a loss of balance within your
  home.
• Watch out for these alarming signs that indicate
  your house requires restumping

01. Visibly Decaying Stumps

• Regular inspections are essential to prevent
  damage from recurring, as well as to spot
  problems early. Damaged stumps can cause further
  damage to the structure of a home, so it is
  important to catch any issues while they are
  still manageable.

02. Misaligned Windows Doors
If youve ever noticed a screeching sound when
your front door or window opens, or a feeling
like somethings off with its alignment then
chances are you have poorly-aligned stumps. A
professional home stumping contractor can
thoroughly inspect the condition of your house
stumps and suggest restumping if necessary.

03.Uneven Flooring
When you feel as if you are moving uphill or
downhill while walking on the floor, know that
the stumps have started to rot. The uneven or
slanted flooring says a lot about the failing
foundations of your home. To check, you can try
rolling a marble on the floor and observe how it
rolls. The irregular movement indicates its time
to hire a trusted house restumping expert and fix
the stumps to save the entire structure from
collapsing.
04. Appearance Of Pinholes
When the stumps of your house begin to weaken and
deteriorate, tiny pinholes start to appear on the
connected areas. These pinholes are a telltale
sign that the stumps need to be replaced in order
to secure the foundation and structure of your
home.

05. Dampness Around The Foundation
A rotting or damaged wooden foundation may lead
to considerable damage to your home. Constant
exposure to moisture makes your foundation stumps
prone to damage. Damp or moist timber stumps
attract termites as they feed on them. As a
result, they cause irreversible damage to your
wooden stumps. When you are left with a hollow
foundation underneath your home, the only
workable remedy that can save your home is to go
for house restumping as soon as possible.
06. Cracks In The Walls
When cracks start appearing on different walls of
your home, you should immediately inspect the
floors for unevenness. This is a clear indication
of failing stumps. For further confirmation,
dont hesitate to call the experts and have your
stumps thoroughly inspected before the problem
escalates.

07. Post-Flood Stump Damage
If you notice that there is a lot of water around
your house, particularly if it has been raining
heavily for several days and you are worried
about possible damage to your house's foundation,
you should call a professional to inspect your
property as soon as possible. The best time to
call in a professional is before any major damage
is done. If there is any visible evidence of
damage or slumping at all, then it is best to
call someone in right away. VIC Metro
