Restumping Services
Restumping, which also popularly known as reblocking, involves refurbishing or replacing the stumps of the house that use a stump subfloor. This often happens when these stumps are rotten or settle due to the quality of the soil or other environmental factors that cause they deteriorate in quality and often leave more stress on the structure of the house as they cannot support it any longer.
It is also useful to restump old houses, as the moisture in the soil can often rotten then, or if you are making any major renovations to that home. The renovations may come with added stress on the structure of that old house and therefore restumping assists elongating the life of the house and improving the structural integrity of place. Restumping is often important and a big undertaking, therefore without the right contractors who are experienced in the field, it can lead to further damages
Types of Restumping
Wood Stumps vs Concrete Stumps vs Steel Stumps
The most popular method of Restumping is often done by using Steel stumps or Concrete Stumps. Either of these provide better support and last longer than that of wood. Steel and Concrete are not susceptible to the same weaknesses that wood often has with soil. Change in temperature, increased humidity, rainfall, floods, and many other environmental factors can cause Wood Stumps to deteriorate in quality.
While Galvanised Steel and Concrete are much stronger against harsher environment and are resistant to things like termites, and long term warping. An advantage that come with Steel Stumps are that they are adjustable on site which makes installation easier taking less time and effort. Regardless, Restumping is a difficult and dirty job, which requires experienced professionals to handle the task for a stronger structure.
