Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Northcote
Northcote’s period homes sit on sloping ground above Merri Creek, and restumping, reblocking and underpinning are all common as those footings age. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Northcote and the wider City of Darebin, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Northcote homes move
Northcote falls away toward Merri Creek, so many homes sit on sloping, cut-and-fill blocks over reactive clay. The fill settles and the clay moves, and homes on the lower slopes tend to drop toward the creek.
The homes we work on in Northcote
Northcote is full of Victorian and Edwardian homes on timber stumps, with grander period homes on High Street’s hill. The older the stumps and the steeper the block, the more likely the floors have started to fall.
Local to Northcote
From the streets around All Nations Park to the homes descending toward the creek, we see the effect of Northcote’s slope every week. The downhill side of a period home is usually where the stumps have sunk furthest.
