What is the difference between restumping and reblocking?

Eblocking is also known as restumping. Restumping is another name for eblocking.

Because stumps support the structure, restumping is an important home improvement. Housepets warns about the potential for structural damage or even collapse due to stumps.

Sometimes it can be difficult to determine if stumps need to be replaced. It is possible to see signs that it is time.


These signs

1. They aren't uneven or level.

2. Cracks in bricks or plastering walls

3. Your windows and doors will not open smoothly if they are jammed.


Partial Restumping


You can have your home partially or completely reblocked if the stumps need to be removed by a professional contractor. Partial restumping can be done if the stumps are not damaged or in good condition.

Sometimes stumps may look completely different from what they are. This is especially true of wooden stumps. They soon decay below the ground and look stunning from the top.

Some stumps will need to be replaced, while others can stay in place. Some stumps may need to be replaced while others can remain in place.


Reblocking and Restumping


Restumping is an option if your home has wooden stumps. It is important to replace old wooden stumps with concrete or steel ones.


Concrete or steel


The most common types of stumping materials are concrete, steel, and wood. Concrete and steel stumps are more durable than stumps made from wood. Borers can more easily eat concrete and steel stumps than wood. Each material has its own advantages and can be used to accomplish specific tasks. Wooden stumps can be made from treated hardwood. This is particularly important for hardwood of high quality. To protect hardwood against borers, Chromated Copper Arsenate is applied (CCA). This will increase its durability.

Concrete stumps can be strengthened by steel to increase strength. Steel stumps are best because of their strength and resistance to borer attack.
