What is Reblocking, and why is it Necessary in Melbourne?
Reblocking, or restumping, replaces deteriorated timber stumps with durable concrete stumps to reinforce your home's foundation. Over time, soil conditions, moisture levels, and natural wear and tear cause timber stumps to weaken. If left unaddressed, this can lead to structural instability, resulting in expensive repairs. Here are signs that your Melbourne home needs reblocking:
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Cracks in walls, especially around doors and windows
- Doors and windows that don't close properly
- Visible movement in the home's structure
- Persistent creaking noises from the flooring
VIP Reblocking & Underpinning specialises in addressing these issues, restoring your home's stability and ensuring it remains safe for years. Once we have reinforced your home's foundation, we go the extra mile to ensure your home looks and functions ideally. Our team can repair internal damage caused by previous foundation movement, including patching wall cracks and addressing minor flooring concerns.
