Apart from the possibility of eventual total house collapse, there are many other more subtle signs that stumps under your house are failing.
Windows and doors are hard to open
Door locks are not in correct alignment
Floors are not level or slope
Cracks in your cornice or internal walls
Vibrations in your floor when you walk
Things roll across your floors
Cupboards shake and rattle
Furniture falls over and things fall off walls
If left uncorrected, these problems have potential to ruin possessions, create life threatening situations such as furniture toppling over, and lead to much more devastating and expensive maintenance issues, such as windows cracking or the whole house support failing.
We find that around Perth, a lot of homes with Jarrah Stumps will require replacing overtime. Its the perimeter stumps that fail usually with excess water from down pipes, paving and driveways keeping the stumped subsurface moist creating timber rot.
