Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe's Federation, Edwardian and bungalow homes sit on hilly reactive clay, so restumping and underpinning are both common across the suburb. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Ivanhoe and the wider City of Banyule, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Ivanhoe homes move
Ivanhoe sits on Silurian mudstone-derived reactive clay over hilly terrain. The clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and on the sloping blocks that movement combines with the fall of the land, so homes on the lower slopes tend to drop and crack first.
The homes we work on in Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe is known for Federation, Edwardian and California bungalow homes plus grand period residences. Many are weatherboard or bungalow on original timber stumps, which need restumping; the solid brick homes can need underpinning.
Local to Ivanhoe
