| Re-blocking is another name for re-stumping. This is the replacement of rotted and defective stumps which cause structural damage to your home. Re-blocking may involve the re-leveling of floor areas and could entail the replacement of sub-floor timbers and floor boards.Houses with timber floors that were built more than 30 years ago will most likely have timber stumps. On average a timber home normally has about 80 stumps and a brick veneer home normally contains about 60. The life expectancy of these stumps can vary from 20 to 60 years depending on the type of timber, soil conditions, drainage and insect attack. Most houses that are more than 30 years old need re-stumping. Have you patched up and painted the walls in your home and find that the cracks are re-appearing? Do not patch up and paint, first you should have your home re stumped or levelled. Are your window frames and doors crooked? Doors and windows stuck or not closing Floors not level Cracks in plaster Floors sloping Gutters not level We remove sole plates The bearers under your home must have 150mm clearance from the ground. If not we may need to excavate soil to reduce the chance of future rotting of sub-floor timbers. Concrete pump is used when required Houses raised Houses levelled We have enough hydraulic jacks to lift the entire house delicately. This eliminates severe & costly damage to plaster-work& framing. | |
