House Raising, Releveling & Re-stumping
Expert house raising, releveling and re-stumping in Rockhampton and Central Queensland.
Does your home need a lift?
Is your home sitting too low, suffering from subsidence, or do you simply want more height to create storage or living space beneath?
Busby’s provides professional house raising and re-stumping services across Rockhampton and Central Queensland – including remote and island locations.
What We Do
- Raise or lower the height of an existing home
- Replace old timber stumps with new concrete or steel piers
- Re-level homes that have shifted or settled unevenly
- Install additional stumps to improve structural support, or with approved engineering design, posts can be removed/replaced.
Why Restump?
Older Queensland homes – particularly those built on timber stumps – often require re-stumping as the stumps deteriorate over time. Signs you might need re-stumping include: uneven or sloping floors, doors and windows that no longer close properly, or visible stump damage or movement. Left unaddressed, these issues can worsen and become more costly to repair.
If you are planning renovations upstairs, relevel and re-stumping should be done FIRST.
Remote & Island Projects
We’ve raised homes in remote and island locations – arriving fully equipped for any unforeseen challenges. If your project is off the beaten track, don’t let that stop you from calling. We’ll find a way to get the job done.
Why Raise Your Home?
1. Protection From Flood Damage
For homes in flood-prone areas, raising your home is one of the smartest investments you can make. Elevating your home above potential flood levels helps protect your property and its contents from water damage – giving you peace of mind when severe weather hits.
2. Create Space Without Building Out
When your block won’t allow you to extend outward, the answer is often to go up. Raising your home creates the opportunity to add usable space underneath – whether that’s additional living areas, a garage, storage or a workshop – without the cost and disruption of a full extension.
3. Coastal Protection & Erosion Management
Homes on or near the coast face unique challenges – erosion, storm surge and the long-term impacts of extreme weather. Raising and re-setting your home can provide vital protection against these risks while preserving your property’s structural integrity and long-term value.
4. Restore Your Foundation, Secure Your Future
If your home’s stumps or foundation are showing signs of age, deterioration or movement, raising your home gives us the opportunity to replace them with a stronger, more durable solution. The result is a more stable, level home – and one less thing to worry about.
