GETTING DIRTY RESTUMPING AND UNDERPINNING
Melbourne's Foundation Specialists
Family owned and operated. When your home's foundations need attention, you need a team you can trust. We've been restumping and underpinning Melbourne homes with over 20 years experience — done right, on time, and at a fair price.
What We Do
Our Services
From full restumping to targeted underpinning, we handle every aspect of your home's foundation.
Restumping
Replace deteriorating timber stumps with new concrete or steel stumps. We lift your home safely, remove the old stumps, and install new ones — restoring stability and adding decades of life to your property.
Learn MoreUnderpinning
Strengthen and stabilise existing foundations that have shifted or settled. Our underpinning solutions are engineered to suit your soil conditions and home structure, giving you lasting peace of mind.
Learn MoreRelevelling
Is your floor uneven or your doors sticking? We relevel your home by adjusting existing stumps to bring your floors back to true — a cost-effective fix that makes a huge difference.
Learn MoreSub Flooring
A solid subfloor is the foundation of a healthy home. We repair, replace, and install subfloor systems — bearers, joists, and stumps — to bring your home back to a safe, level, and structurally sound condition.
Learn MoreWarning Signs
Is Your Home Showing Signs of Foundation Problems?
Don't ignore the warning signs. Early action saves money and prevents serious structural damage.
- Doors and windows that stick or won't close properly
- Cracks in internal or external walls
- Uneven or sloping floors
- Visible gaps between walls and ceilings
- Bouncy or springy floors underfoot
- Visible rot or damage to existing stumps
Don't wait until the damage gets worse — early intervention is always cheaper.
Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
"We'd been putting off restumping for years because we were worried about the disruption. The team was professional, tidy, and finished ahead of schedule. Our floors feel completely different now."
Sarah M.
"Got three quotes and Getting Dirty came in competitive with the best explanation of what needed doing. No upselling, no surprises on the invoice. Highly recommend."
James T.
"Our 1920s weatherboard had serious subsidence on one side. They diagnosed the problem quickly and the underpinning work was done in two days. Couldn't be happier."
Linda K.
"Noticed our back door wouldn't close properly and the floors were bouncy. Called Getting Dirty and they had someone out within a few days. Turned out we needed relevelling — sorted quickly and at a fair price."
Mark D.
"Really impressed with how thorough the inspection was. They explained everything clearly, showed me photos under the house, and didn't try to oversell the job. Honest tradies are hard to find."
Priya S.
"We had a heritage-listed home that needed careful underpinning. They understood the sensitivities involved and handled the permit process for us. Excellent communication throughout."
Tom & Elaine B.
"Second time using Getting Dirty — first for restumping, now for a neighbour I referred. Both jobs done on time, clean site, and exactly what was quoted. Won't use anyone else."
Chris W.
"The concrete stumps they installed are rock solid. House feels like a new build. The crew were friendly, worked hard, and cleaned up after themselves every day."
Angela R.
"Had cracks appearing in our walls and doors sticking for months. Getting Dirty came out, assessed the stumps, and had the whole job wrapped up in three days. The difference is night and day."
David H.
"Very professional from start to finish. The quote was detailed and easy to understand, the crew arrived on time every day, and the finished job was exactly what was promised. Five stars."
Michelle P.
"Our old timber stumps were completely rotted out. They replaced the lot with concrete and the house is now perfectly level. Great value and no hidden costs."
Steve & Karen O.
"I was nervous about the mess and disruption but they were incredibly tidy. Laid down boards to protect the garden, cleaned up daily, and you'd never know they'd been under the house."
Natalie F.
"Bought an older home and the inspection flagged the stumps as a priority. Getting Dirty gave us a fair quote and completed the work before we even moved in. Highly recommend for new buyers."
Ben & Sophie L.
"The team found issues the building inspector had missed. They were upfront about what was urgent and what could wait, which saved us money. That kind of honesty is rare."
Raj M.
"Our floors had a noticeable slope for years. After relevelling, the whole house feels more solid and our kitchen cabinets finally close properly. Should have done it sooner."
Fiona C.
"Used them for a full restump on our 1950s brick veneer. The crew were knowledgeable, explained every step, and the job came in on budget. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
Gary N.
"Called on a Friday, had a quote by Monday, and work started the following week. Fast turnaround without cutting corners. The house feels completely stable now."
Tina & Paul V.
"Excellent communication throughout the whole process. They sent photos of the work under the house so I could see exactly what was done. Real peace of mind."
