Why Craigieburn Homes Need Reblocking
Craigieburn and the northern Hume corridor sit on reactive clay-rich soils from the Melbourne basalt plain — rated Class M to H under AS 2870. These soils experience significant seasonal moisture variation driven by Melbourne's distinct wet winters and dry summers.
While Craigieburn has seen significant new development, the older established streets contain homes built in the 1970s–1990s that are now showing the early signs of stump movement — particularly on streets with the highest clay content profiles.
Warning Signs Your Craigieburn 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 Craigieburn Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Craigieburn 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 Craigieburn'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.
