The process of underpinning is to stabilize and strengthen the foundation of a home. Most common practices is to make the current foundation strong which involves extending the foundation so that it rest on a more supportive soil and distributes its load across a greater area. We dig under the existing foundation and support with new concrete foundation. Underpinning can also be done to garages and wall foundations. If you see cracks appearing in the walls of your home it is always best to check it out. Any problem can be amended without a great deal of work, but if left the worse it will be. Underpinning means the earth is removed around key points of a building’s foundation and replaced with concrete. Underpinning may be necessary for a variety of reasons.
