Why Glen Waverley Homes Need Reblocking
Glen Waverley and the Monash council area sit on reactive clay and siltstone-derived soils with a Class M to H reactivity profile under AS 2870. The consistent cycle of winter swelling and summer shrinkage drives progressive stump movement.
The original residential streets of Glen Waverley — particularly those developed in the 1950s and 1960s — contain timber-framed homes on original hardwood stumps now 60 to 70 years old.
Warning Signs Your Glen Waverley 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 Glen Waverley Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Glen Waverley 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 Glen Waverley'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.
