Local House Restumping & Reblocking in Chelsea Heights VIC

The difference between house restumping, reblocking and home underpinning

When talking about different ways to repair your home, there are many techniques to repair the foundation of your home. To help you decide on how how to save your home from further structural damage, here’s how differentiate the three.

Restumping, also known as house reblocking, involves replacing old or cracked stumps of houses that use stumps as the foundation. Often this occurs when stumps have become misaligned due to soil movement, or have rotted from pests or moisture.

Underpinning a house is an effective way of fixing misaligned or depressed stumps. It involves simply adding a concrete mixture to coat the stumps, which reinforces the foundation with a new material. In most cases, it costs less than restumping or reblocking.
