Why Delahey Homes Need Reblocking
Delahey and the Brimbank western plain sit on reactive Quaternary clay soils from Melbourne's western volcanic plain — rated Class M to H under AS 2870. The clay profile undergoes consistent seasonal moisture cycling with each Melbourne wet and dry season.
Delahey was predominantly developed in the 1970s–1980s. Homes from this era are now 40–50 years old and, while not as old as inner-city stock, reactive western plain soils accelerate stump deterioration to the point where inspection is warranted.
Warning Signs Your Delahey 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 Delahey Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Delahey 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 Delahey'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.
