Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Reservoir
Reservoir has one of the largest stocks of post-war homes in Melbourne’s north, and a lot of them are now due for restumping. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Reservoir and the wider City of Darebin, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Reservoir homes move
The northern suburbs sit on reactive clay derived from Silurian mudstone. It swells in a wet winter and shrinks hard in a dry summer, and that seasonal movement is what cracks Reservoir brickwork and drops the stumps beneath weatherboard homes.
The homes we work on in Reservoir
Reservoir is full of 1950s and 1960s brick-veneer and weatherboard homes, plus older California bungalows toward Regent. Many still sit on the original timber stumps, which are now 60-plus years old and well past their life.
Local to Reservoir
We work across Reservoir regularly, from the streets around Edwardes Lake to the Broadhurst Avenue pockets and the newer infill near the Reservoir station upgrade. The older weatherboards near the lake, on lower, damper ground, are the ones we most often find need restumping first.
