Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Moreton
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The standard approach involves systematically excavating beneath the current footing in controlled stages, then backfilling with mass concrete to redistribute loads onto more stable bearing strata. This technique is also employed when constructing side return extensions along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through vertical additions may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundation system.
We collaborate directly with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver cost effective, high quality structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Sinking or sloping interior floors
- Door or window frames that stick or bind
- Skirting boards pulling away from the wall
