What Is Foundation Underpinning?
Foundation underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilising the existing foundations of a building. This may be required when the soil beneath the structure becomes unstable, or when the building’s load increases due to extensions or renovations.
Common reasons underpinning may be needed:
- Subsidence or ground movement
- Cracks in walls or floors
- Sinking or uneven floors
- Nearby tree roots affecting foundations
- Soil erosion due to drainage issues
- Increased loads from home extensions
- Age-related deterioration
- Long-term moisture damage
If your home shows any of these signs, underpinning may be necessary to prevent further structural damage.
