Structural Support That Lasts

At Pro-Jax, we specialise in restumping homes throughout Townsville, North Queensland and beyond — including interstate. We’ll assess your current foundation and recommend the best solution for your needs, budget and site conditions. Our replacements include durable materials like:

• Cast Concrete: A strong, low-maintenance option with excellent long-term durability.
• Treated Timber: Ideal for certain traditional or heritage homes, with termite resistance built in.
• Steel Columns: High-strength, corrosion-resistant and suitable for Queensland’s demanding climate.

We’ll also work with the available clearance (e.g. ground level to the underside of the bearers) to determine the most cost-effective and structurally sound option. Restumping is a significant decision, which is why we offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options to suit different budgets.

From your first enquiry through to the final result, our team takes pride in delivering outstanding customer service and clear communication at every stage. If you're ready to secure your home’s foundation, we’re ready to help make it happen.

House Stump Repairs & Treatment 

Bouncy floors, uneven rooms, sticking doors, or cracked stumps? These are all signs that your home’s stumps may be under stress and in need of attention. Over time, timber, steel, or concrete stumps can deteriorate due to moisture, soil movement, or age, leading to uneven floors, misaligned doors and windows, and structural instability. Concrete posts may crack or break away, while timber or steel stumps can weaken or corrode, affecting the house’s overall support.

Ignoring these issues can allow small problems to escalate, resulting in costly repairs or major structural work. Professional assessment allows us to identify which stumps need full replacement, which can be repaired, and which benefit from protective treatment. By targeting only the affected areas, we can restore structural integrity, level floors, and smooth doors, saving time and cost while ensuring your home remains safe, stable, and long-lasting.

Stump Repairs

We undertake repairs to house stumps above ground level, from the top of the footing up to the underside of the bearer or beam.

This repair method is suitable where the in-ground portion of the stump remains structurally sound, but the above-ground section or load-bearing interface has deteriorated or fallen out of level.

Rather than replacing the entire stump, the repair focuses on reconstructing the stump head and load-transfer point. The structure is temporarily supported, all unsound material is removed, and a purpose-designed, engineered stump head system is installed. This engineered system is designed to integrate securely with the existing in-ground stump and provide a stable, level, and durable bearing surface for the house bearer.

The engineered repair restores a continuous vertical load path, improves long-term performance at the stump-to-bearer connection, and returns the stump to proper structural function in accordance with accepted house repair methods and relevant building standards.

Treatment of Stumps

Treatment of house stumps is essential to protect structural components from decay, termite attack, and corrosion. The process begins with a thorough inspection to identify damaged or vulnerable stumps. For timber stumps, this may include chemical preservative application or pressure treatment to prevent rot and insect damage. For steel or concrete stumps, the process includes cleaning and application of anti-corrosion coatings to protect against oxidation. Protective layers are applied to all exposed surfaces, especially the stump head where it meets the bearer, ensuring a durable, long-lasting connection. Regular inspections and maintenance can extend the service life of stumps and maintain structural integrity.

Benefits of Repair & Treatment Services

Repair and treatment of house stumps allows us to preserve the existing structure without replacing all stumps. We carefully evaluate each stump to determine whether it requires full replacement, targeted repair, or protective treatment. This engineered approach saves time and costs, ensures structural integrity, and we consult with you throughout the process to decide the most effective solution for your home.

FREE Site Inspection

We offer a free site inspection where a technician will check your house’s stumps for problems like rot, rust, sinking, or uneven support to see if restumping, repair or treatment is needed. We will look for signs like uneven floors, sticking doors or windows, cracks in walls, or creaky floors to decide if repairs or levelling are required.

After the inspection, we will explain what work might be needed, discuss the best materials to use, and point out any urgent issues. Finally, you’ll get a written quote with no obligation, so you know the cost and can decide without any pressure.
