HOME LINKSRestumping & Underpinning

Services

Foundation work for Melbourne homes.

We assess the house first, then recommend the service — or combination of services — that suits the structure and the ground it sits on.

Concrete stump replacement

Replacing individual failed stumps — timber or concrete — where a full restump isn't needed.

Excavation for foundation work

The excavation needed to expose, support and extend existing footings as part of underpinning work.

Signs of movement

Signs your property may need assessment.

These symptoms are worth having looked at — but they don't diagnose a problem on their own. Cracking or uneven floors can have several causes; an on-site assessment finds out which applies to your home.

  1. 01

    Cracks in walls

    New or widening cracks in plaster or brickwork, especially above doors and windows.

  2. 02

    Uneven floors

    Floors that slope, dip, feel springy or squeak more than they used to.

  3. 03

    Sticking doors

    Doors and windows that bind, swing open on their own or no longer latch.

  4. 04

    Deteriorated stumps

    Stumps that look rotten, cracked, leaning or have sunk into the ground.

How it works

From first call to handover.

A clear sequence, so you know what is happening and why at each stage.

  1. 01

    Initial enquiry

    Tell us what you've noticed by phone or the enquiry form. We'll ask a few questions about the home and the signs of movement.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    We arrange a time to look at the property, including the subfloor or footings where accessible.

  3. 03

    Scope and quote

    You receive a proposed scope of work and a quote that explains what we recommend and why.

  4. 04

    Scheduling and preparation

    We agree a start date, talk through access and what to move, and confirm any approvals or engineering input the job requires.

  5. 05

    Work and required checks

    The work is carried out in stages, with levels and any required inspections completed as the job progresses.

  6. 06

    Handover

    We walk you through what was done and leave the site tidy. It's normal for some minor cosmetic touch-ups to be needed after a house is lifted.
