Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Camberwell
Camberwell's Edwardian homes and California bungalows are steadily coming due for restumping and underpinning as their original footings age out. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Camberwell and the wider City of Boroondara, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Camberwell homes move
Camberwell sits on Silurian mudstone-derived reactive clay, a loam over mottled clay subsoil. The clay swells and shrinks with seasonal moisture, and that movement is what cracks the brickwork and drops the floors in the area's period homes.
The homes we work on in Camberwell
Camberwell is full of Edwardian and Victorian homes and 1920s and 30s California bungalows. The bungalows and weatherboards are often on original timber stumps that are now well past their life; the solid brick homes tend to need underpinning.
Local to Camberwell
From the shops and homes around Camberwell Junction to the streets near the Sunday market and Burke Road, we work across the suburb. Camberwell's mix of stumped bungalows and solid brick homes means an on-site check matters more than a rule of thumb.
