It is inevitable that when you have a home which has stumps as part of the base that restumping will need to be done at some point. No matter the quality of the initial work done or the material of the stumps, this will become necessary. Both wood and concrete stumps are prone to wear and tear and moss affects both types of material. While rot may affect wooden stumps more rapidly than concrete ones, concrete is by no means exempt from decay.
Decaying stumps will soon become damaged and so are a real problem since the damage to the base of the house can only be considered to be serious structural damage. The stumps which are damaged are part of the greater integrity of the foundation and cannot be left as they are. Under all circumstances they will have to be removed and replaced. It is possible to only have these items replaced but we believe it is far better to replace all the stumps instead of the damaged ones. While replacing the damaged stumps only gives a slight reduction in the cost of labour in the moment, the long term effect may be significantly greater. By only fixing the visibly damaged, this does nothing for the continued risk of structural damage. It is entirely possible the reblocking team will have to return to replace damaged stumps in the short future that were not visibly damaged. This means the service fees can become recurring as the damaged stumps keep on turning up. |
