The Basics of Restumping Dandenong

Restumping or reblocking is the process of replacing and restoring the foundations of a home or commercial building. It involves lifting and shifting the existing stumps, then installing new ones to better protect and support the foundation of the building. This is usually done to ensure the safety of occupants and prevent structural damage.

It is important to hire a professional restumping contractor that has a good reputation and experience in the industry. This will ensure that the job is performed correctly and to your satisfaction. It will also help to save you money in the long run by preventing further damage to your property.

The first step in the restumping Dandenong process is to assess the site and determine what type of work needs to be completed. This includes determining the condition of the existing stumps, assessing the soil composition and the location of the site.

Once the assessment has been completed, the existing stumps are removed using specialised equipment. This step can take several days, depending on the size of the property and the amount of work needed to be carried out. The next step is to install the new stumps. This is typically done using hydraulic jacks and requires a great deal of care to ensure that the old stumps are lifted without damaging the building or the surrounding area. The new stumps are then positioned and adjusted to achieve optimal load-bearing capacity and stability. This can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, particularly if the original stumps are rotted or damaged.

After the new stumps have been installed, the final step in the restumping process is to complete any necessary finishing work. This may include backfilling the holes around the stumps, grading the site and restoring any vegetation or structures that were removed during the preparation process. It is also important to note that house restumping can often be a costly process, and it may not be covered by your home or contents insurance. Therefore, it is essential to check with your insurance provider to see what is and isn’t covered by your policy.

Reblocking and restumping can be a costly project, but it is a vital step in ensuring the safety of the occupants of a home and preventing structural damage. It can also increase the value of a property and make it more attractive to potential buyers in the future.
