Why Port Melbourne Homes Need Reblocking
Port Melbourne's landscape sits on reclaimed land, estuarine clays and basalt-derived soils — creating moderate to significant ground movement potential. Victorian terrace homes on the flat streets between the Bay and the CBD are typically over 120 years old.
Inner south Melbourne's narrow terrace lots require specialist skills. Our team has extensive experience working under Victorian terrace homes in Port Melbourne with minimal subfloor clearance.
Warning Signs Your Port Melbourne 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 Port Melbourne Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Port Melbourne 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 Port Melbourne'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.
