Newcomb: houses, ground and history

Newcomb was known as West Maloop until 1956, when the local progress association asked for the present name. The suburb grew rapidly during the 1960s, as heavy industry such as Alcoa (1963) set up at nearby Point Henry. VICSES lists Newcomb among the parts of Geelong that have had flash flooding. Use the form, and we'll refer you to one registered restumper nearby.

Flash flooding has reached Newcomb before. Water that pools under a house after heavy rain is worth a look at an inspection, along with the subfloor vents and the ground around the stumps. A musty smell, doors that bind or a floor that feels uneven can come from more than one cause, and an inspection sorts that out.

At the 2021 Census, 41.4% of Newcomb’s homes were rented. If you’re renting, take the problem to your landlord or property manager, since the owner arranges any structural work. Owners should check a restumper’s registration before agreeing to a quote; Consumer Affairs Victoria explains why it’s required for restumping at any value. To start, tell us the address, what’s changed and how long you’ve noticed it, or use the estimate request. We then match your enquiry with one registered restumper.
