Why Frankston Homes Need Reblocking
Frankston's residential landscape includes a significant mix of post-war fibro and weatherboard homes built during the 1950s–1970s. Frankston's soil transitions from sandy coastal soils near the foreshore to heavier clay-based soils inland — with the clay zones producing the most significant seasonal ground movement.
Frankston North has a high concentration of homes on reactive clay soils where floor movement, plaster cracking and sticking doors are common. Our team works regularly in the area and understands the site conditions specific to different Frankston streets.
Warning Signs Your Frankston 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 Frankston Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Frankston 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 Frankston'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.
