Restumping is a procedure where the existing stumps are replaced with new stumps. When the procedure is not carried out by professionals who are not experienced enough, it can prove fatal.
(OPENPRESS) In Queensland, there are many houses that are yet to be raised or fitted with stumps. Raising homes are gaining popularity due to the incessant weather that is causing havoc among residents in Gold Coast. When the ground beneath is getting soft, it is high time the house gets raised to a certain height.
On the other hand, there are many homes which have been stumped, but are in need of the stumps being replaced. Though insurance can cover the floods, the damaged caused and things that have been lost cannot be got back due to the floods. Restumping is a tedious process that needs to be carefully evaluated.
Factors like ground strength, levels of flood water, and the permissible height have to be checked before the procedure is carried out. Queensland House Restumping is a restumping professional company that provides house raising services. Their staffs are experienced and carry out the needed inspected and evaluations before proceeding with the work.
