Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about restumping, reblocking, underpinning, or house levelling? Find the answers here.
Reblocking involves replacing old or deteriorated stumps beneath your home with new, durable materials such as concrete or steel. While the terms are often used interchangeably, restumping typically refers to replacing timber stumps, whereas reblocking is a broader term that includes upgrading to stronger materials.
Yes. We are fully registered and certified building practitioners, ensuring all work complies with relevant building codes, regulations, and industry standards.
Most reblocking projects take between 3 to 10 days, depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the job. Larger or more challenging properties may take longer, especially where access is limited or structural adjustments are required.
Reblocking costs in Melbourne generally range from $12,000 to $30,000+, depending on the size of the home, number of stumps, soil conditions, and access under the property. The most accurate way to determine cost is through an on-site inspection, where we assess the condition of your existing stumps and provide a detailed quote.
In most cases, you can remain in your home during the reblocking process. However, there may be temporary disruptions, especially when lifting and levelling is taking place. We always advise based on your specific situation after inspection.
Yes. We conduct thorough assessments, ask detailed questions, and explain your options clearly before recommending the most suitable solution for your property.
Common signs include: Uneven or sloping floors Cracks in walls or ceilings Doors and windows sticking Bouncy or unstable floors Visible damage to stumps If you notice any of these, it’s best to arrange a professional inspection.
Yes. Reblocking restores the structural integrity of your home, prevents further damage, and can significantly increase property value. Delaying structural repairs often leads to more expensive issues over time.
