Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Manley
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they have become insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used technique involves carefully excavating beneath the existing footing in controlled stages and backfilling with mass concrete to redistribute the structural load onto more stable ground. This method is also employed to facilitate side return extensions along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of another storey may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundations.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, cost effective structural repair solutions you can rely on.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Sinking or sloping floors inside the property
- Door or window frames that stick or bind
- Skirting boards pulling away from the wall
