Four services, one trade. If the problem is in the footings, the bearers, the joists or the ground itself, it is work we do with our own crews rather than subcontract out.
New stumps, floors back to level
We lift the house, pull out the failed timber stumps and set new concrete or galvanised steel stumps on properly compacted footings. Floors come back to level and stay there.
Footings taken down to stable ground
Where a brick or concrete footing has dropped, we excavate beneath it and pour new piers down to stable ground, transferring the load off the reactive clay that caused the movement.
New bearers, joists and ventilation
Rotted bearers, sagging joists and bouncy floorboards usually mean the structure between the stumps and your floor has gone. We rebuild it in treated timber or steel.
A written report, not a sales pitch
Before you buy, or before you commit to work, we get under the house and write up what is actually there: stump condition, bearer and joist condition, moisture, ventilation and drainage.
We come to the property, get under the house where there is access, and tell you what we find. No charge and no obligation.
A fixed written quote with the scope spelled out, so you can compare it line for line against anyone else. We will beat any written quote you already hold.
Restumping and underpinning need a building permit in Victoria, and underpinning needs engineering. We organise both so you are not chasing paperwork.
One of our five crews takes the job from start to finish. Most restumps run a week to a fortnight depending on size and access.
A free on-site inspection, a fixed written quote, and we will beat any written quote you already hold from a licensed builder.
