Concrete Underpinning
What Is Underpinning?
Underpinning is the repair process used in order to remedy the damage caused to a property’s structure and/or foundation.
This form of structural damage is more often than not caused by aspects such as subsidence.
Underpinning is required as a means to strengthen a build’s structure by bringing additional support to a foundation which has lost its original strength.
Why Is Underpinning Required?
When a property has suffering from subsidence damage, the foundation sustaining this damage will be left in poor structural health.
Underpinning is thus used in order to restore this structural health back to its desired condition and remedy the strength which has been lost.
Furthermore, it can further be used to strengthen the foundation of a build when an additional story or a basement is to be added. The process is a repair method which further olds the ability to prevent a property from devaluing if it has experienced foundational damage.
