When do you need Foundation Underpinning?

Underpinning foundation is a repair process that strengthens foundations which have been weakened by some factors. In the process of underpinning the area underneath the load of the foundation is repaired or reinforced. Underpinning is essential where a building has been damaged by foundation and it should be repaired. There may also be a need to carry out structural repairs or strengthening work to the superstructure. 

There should be a variety of solutions are available to avoid settlement problem including foundation underpinning. It may be selected when grouting techniques alone cannot improve poor soils. This technique bypasses the problem soils by using structural elements to transfer the building’s load to underlying competent bedrock. There are some signs to look for that may indicate that you may be in need of foundation repair are:

• Sticking of Doors and Windows

Need of Underpinning:-

All types of foundation damages cannot be repaired by underpinning strategies. This repair method is only required if the foundation cannot fully support the structure which rests upon it. One of the most common factors is weak and unstable soil that causes foundations to lose stability. Many times your foundation became weak due to weathering. Changes in the structure also cause the foundation to lose its support efficiency. When you meet some of these problems, one solution is foundation underpinning.

If a faulty foundation or addition of second storey is the reason that may be an indication that soil subsidence is not the issue and concrete reinforcement may be the best method to use. If a nearby excavation caused the problem, another type of concrete reinforcement may be needed. If soil subsidence has caused your foundation to move or weaken, resin injection may be the best solution.
