How do I know if my house needs restumping and levelling?
Your doors and windows may not operate properly as they may no longer be square. Cracks in plaster walls/ceilings and cracked brickwork may be a tell tale sign of a section of the house ‘sinking’. Creaking or ‘spongy’ floors may also indicate that the bearers have separated from rotted or sunken stumps. Find out more about which contractor to choose.
What’s involved in replacing stumps or levelling?
The first step is for us to assess the job prior to giving our advice in order to determine which type of stumping materials are required – each involves a different course of action. The defective stumps are identified and the structure surrounding these is jacked up and secured. The new stumps are positioned precisely to ensure they are level, and the floor joists are lowered back and secured accordingly.
Do my tenants or I need to relocate during the restumping process?
No. If we are relevelling or replacing stumps, your family or your tenants are able to stay in the house without concern for safety. If there are any children and/or animals living at your property all care is taken for their safety be sectioning off the area affected by our work using bright orange fencing at the end of each day. If necessary, a barrier fence is erected to prevent any animals escaping.
How long does the average restumping job take?
A full home restumping project takes on average a week to nine days (depending on size) from beginning to completely level and set on new solid foundations. If we replace only a few stumps then it would usually take around 1-3 days. If any new or existing palings or batons require fitting or if any conduit or taps require re-fitting, we are also able to provide this service.
