What is Foundation Underpinning?
Underpinning is the process of reinforcing or strengthening the foundation of a structure. It is often necessary when the original foundation becomes unstable due to shifting soil, settling, or other environmental factors. This service helps to distribute the weight of the structure more evenly and prevent further damage.
Whether your home has experienced settling over time or you are building an extension, underpinning can restore balance and stability to your foundation.
When is Underpinning Necessary?
Underpinning is recommended when:
- Cracks in the Walls or Foundation: Horizontal or vertical cracks may indicate that your foundation is shifting or settling.
- Uneven Floors or Doors/Windows Not Closing Properly: This could be a sign that your foundation is no longer level.
- Water Leakage in the Basement: Persistent moisture issues could signal that the foundation is no longer secure.
- Soil Movement: In areas with expansive clay soils or areas prone to heavy rainfall, foundations are more susceptible to shifting.
