What is Underpinning?

 

Underpinning refers to the process of laying down a strong foundation below the ground level of any building to strengthen its structure. The most preferred method is to extend the existing foundation to make it stronger. By extending the foundation, we allow the building to rest on a more accommodating soil and let it distribute the load over a larger area. Underpinning literally means removing the earth from the main points of a constructed building’s foundation and replacing the same with concrete.

 

We at Northern Underpinning & Salt Damp Removal Adelaide dig under the building’s foundation and use concrete to support the existing foundation. Pressure is applied in most cases and thus we are able to elevate the building back to its original position. Concrete is used to stabilize the building. Underpinning can be done for homes, wall foundations, and even garages. It gives stability to the building that has recurring cracks.
