Why Avondale Heights Homes Need Reblocking
Avondale Heights sits on basalt-derived and alluvial soils along the Maribyrnong River corridor, rated Class M to H under AS 2870. The river valley's moisture-retaining soil profile amplifies seasonal ground movement in winter.
Post-war homes from the 1950s–1970s dominate Avondale Heights' residential streetscapes. These homes are now 50–70 years old on original hardwood stumps approaching or past the end of their useful life.
Warning Signs Your Avondale Heights Home Needs Reblocking
Watch for these signs of deteriorating stumps — do not ignore them:
What Is Reblocking — and How Does It Differ from Restumping and Underpinning?
Reblocking and restumping are the same process — both describe replacing old timber stumps with new concrete stumps beneath a raised timber-framed home. Underpinning is a separate process for homes on concrete slabs. Not sure which applies to you? Call 0455 888 899 and we will advise you honestly, at no charge.
Our Avondale Heights Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Avondale Heights property, assess your subfloor, identify damaged stumps and provide a free written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
We document the number of stumps, subfloor access and drainage considerations relevant to Avondale Heights's specific soil conditions.
Rotten or damaged stumps are safely removed. We work from beneath your home — in most cases without removing any floorboards.
High-strength concrete stumps are installed to a minimum of 450mm depth and concreted firmly in place. Concrete does not rot. Termites cannot damage it.
We use hydraulic jacks to lift and re-level your structure — correcting sloping floors and reducing frame distortion.
Comprehensive check before sign-off. All work performed by a Registered Building Practitioner (Licence DB-L 54524) with a written 15-year guarantee.
