HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY HOUSE NEEDS RELEVELING OR RESTUMPING?
​
-
Sloping floors or uneven floors
-
Cracks in the tiling or plasterwork
-
Doors not closing properly or jamming
-
Decay in the timber stumps
-
Bouncy or loose floors
If you have any of the above-mentioned signs we recommend reblocking and also if built prior to 1970. The presence of extensive moisture in the foundation is another factor that can contribute to the need for reblocking and restumping.
A house can be restumped at any floor level to secure the foundations from sinking any further. To relevel a home requires alot of hydraulic jacks placed under the house bearers and pushed up to level the floors. Please ensure if you are looking to have your floors flat, ask to relevel prior to restumping.
