Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Glen Iris
Glen Iris is full of California bungalows and period homes whose ageing footings and stumps make restumping and underpinning common here. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Glen Iris and the wider City of Boroondara, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Glen Iris homes move
Glen Iris sits on Silurian mudstone-derived reactive clay, with alluvial flats along Gardiners Creek where the ground is softer and more settlement-prone. The clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and homes on the lower creek-side ground tend to move most.
The homes we work on in Glen Iris
Glen Iris is known for interwar California bungalows alongside Edwardian, Victorian and postwar homes. Many bungalows are on original timber stumps now well past their life; the solid brick homes can crack when the clay dries out.
