Can rotten bearers and joists be fixed during restumping in Ballarat?

Yes, rotten bearers and joists can usually be dealt with during restumping in Ballarat, and it is worth raising upfront because timber damage is often only discovered once the house is jacked and the old stumps are exposed. On older Ballarat weatherboards, long-term damp under the floor means the stumps are frequently only half the job. Where stump replacement goes ahead but the subfloor timber is left, the floor can still feel soft or keep moving afterwards. We tell you what bearer and joist replacement we expect to be needed, how any additional timber repairs found on site are priced, and confirm that re-levelling happens once the structural timber is sound.
