Why Broadmeadows Homes Need Reblocking
Broadmeadows and the northern Hume corridor sit on basalt plain soils and clay-rich sedimentary profiles — rated Class M to H under AS 2870. These soils swell in Melbourne's wet winters and contract in dry summers, driving annual ground movement that progressively weakens timber stumps.
Broadmeadows was developed as one of Melbourne's first large public housing estates in the 1950s and 1960s. The resulting housing stock is now 60–70 years old, with many homes still on original timber stumps from the original construction phase.
Warning Signs Your Broadmeadows 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 Broadmeadows Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Broadmeadows 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 Broadmeadows'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.
