Our 5-Step Restumping Process

At Truss Reblocking & Underpinning, we have a 5-step approach for all of our restumping and underpinning projects.

A thorough inspection identifies underlying foundation issues. Truss Reblocking and Underpinning evaluates existing stumps, flooring levels, and soil conditions. This step ensures the right strategy is applied, addressing specific structural concerns before work begins.

Clear planning prevents unnecessary delays. A tailored restumping approach is developed, factoring in property layout, access points, and material requirements. Proper coordination ensures minimal disruption while maintaining the highest standards in structural support.

Old or deteriorated stumps are carefully removed. Durable concrete or steel replacements are installed with precision, ensuring strong, level support. Adjustments are made to achieve proper alignment, preventing future movement or uneven flooring.

After new stumps are secured, fine-tuning ensures a balanced structure. Floors are relevelled, minor corrections are made, and footings are stabilised. This stage guarantees long-term durability, preventing future sinking or uneven settlement.

Every completed project undergoes a detailed inspection. Load distribution, alignment, and stability are verified to industry standards. Any remaining materials or debris are removed, leaving the property safe, clean, and structurally reinforced for years to come.

Why Do House Stumps Deteriorate?

House stumps deteriorate because of the following reasons:

Moisture and Rot

Excessive ground moisture causes timber stumps to decay over time. Constant exposure to damp conditions weakens structural integrity, leading to instability, uneven flooring, and potential foundation movement if left unaddressed.

Soil Movement

Shifting soil affects foundation support. Expanding and contracting ground conditions, often caused by seasonal changes or poor drainage, create movement beneath stumps, resulting in misalignment, sinking, and uneven load distribution across the structure.

Termite Damage

Pests weaken timber stumps by eating through internal fibres. Undetected infestations gradually compromise strength, increasing the risk of subsidence. Regular inspections help identify early signs before severe structural damage occurs.

Natural Ageing

Materials degrade with time. Long-standing stumps lose strength due to decades of wear, environmental exposure, and gradual settling. Replacing deteriorated supports ensures continued stability and prevents further issues from developing within a property’s foundation.
