Full Restumping
Full restumping is often needed for older properties that have damaged wooden stumps. It may also be a good idea to replace the old wooden ones with something more sturdy, such as treated timber, steel or concrete stumps. The process involves excavating around each stump, removing it and then replacing it or resetting it in concrete. This will ensure that your home is sitting on a strong, level foundation, which will help to avoid any future settlement issues.

The process of partial restumping involves replacing some of the stumps that support your home. You can use this process when only a few damaged stumps in your home are causing instability. Whether this is the right solution for your property depends on how many stumps are still in good condition.

What Are Stumps?
Stumps are foundation materials that hold up your floor frame and support your chosen flooring surface. It is very important to use the right materials and the right number of stumps to support the property’s weight. Precision is important as the measurement of spaces plays an important part in providing the sturdiest structure possible.
Different Types of Stumps
Traditionally, floors were supported by hardwood stumps, but these rot away over time. In their place are now treated timber, cast concrete, or galvanised steel columns. Engineers design them to ensure they are the right size and spacing.
Concrete Stumps
Concrete stumps are one of the most common building materials. Houses resting on concrete are stable and safe because concrete is a strong, trustworthy material. Due to this, concrete requires little maintenance.
Steel Stumps
Today, steel stumps are becoming a popular choice in providing properties with solid, strong, sturdy, and level support. Adjustable steel stumps are also available and have a variety of sizes and lengths to suit any project.
Timber Stumps
A timber stump is a more traditional stumping option but is still popular today because it is an affordable option suitable for many soils and conditions.
