Bell Post Hill sits in the study area of the City’s Cowies Creek Stormwater Management Strategy, which takes in flood modelling and mapping across the catchment. If water collects under your house or around the stumps after rain, raise it at the inspection, as damp ground under a floor is worth checking. Vents that are blocked or buried by garden beds are worth a look too.

Expect the work to need a building permit; your builder or a building surveyor will usually look after that. When you’re ready, tell us the address, roughly when the house was built if you know, and what you’ve noticed, such as cracks over door frames or a floor that rolls underfoot. Mention any past repairs under the house. Then we’ll connect you with a registered restumper who works in Bell Post Hill.
