Why Taylors Lakes Homes Need Reblocking
Taylors Lakes 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. These reactive soils drive predictable annual ground movement in established residential areas.
Taylors Lakes was predominantly developed in the 1980s–1990s. While more recently built than inner-city stock, reactive western plain soils accelerate stump deterioration — and homes from the early development phase are now 30–40 years old.
Warning Signs Your Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes Reblocking Process — Step by Step
We visit your Taylors Lakes 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 Taylors Lakes'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.
