Restumping, Underpinning & Reblocking in Yarraville
Yarraville’s heritage cottages sit on tight inner-west blocks over reactive clay, making restumping and reblocking two of our most common local jobs. We restump, underpin and reblock homes across Yarraville and the wider City of Maribyrnong, starting with a free on-site inspection and an honest fixed quote.
Why Yarraville homes move
Yarraville shares the inner west’s heavy, reactive basalt clay. Combined with a high historic water table near the river flats, it keeps subfloors damp and speeds up the rot that ruins timber stumps.
The homes we work on in Yarraville
Yarraville is prized for its intact Victorian and Edwardian workers’ cottages, almost all on original timber stumps. Heritage overlays mean the fix has to protect the character of the home, not just the floor.
Local to Yarraville
