Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Heswall
Underpinning is all about making your existing foundations stronger and deeper when they’re not quite up to scratch or have been affected by subsidence or ground movement. The usual approach involves digging out sections underneath your current footing bit by bit, then filling them with mass concrete so the weight gets transferred down to more solid ground. It’s also handy when you’re doing side return extensions along your party wall.
Properties being extended with an extra storey often need underpinning to beef up what’s already there foundation wise.
We team up with structural engineers and loss adjusters to make sure any structural repair work is done properly, offering great value without cutting corners.
Signs your foundations might be struggling:
- Cracks appearing on the outside in your brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Interior floors that are sinking or starting to slope
- Door or window frames getting stuck
- Skirting boards pulling away from the wall
