Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Helsby
Underpinning provides essential strengthening and deepening of existing foundations when they prove inadequate or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The traditional approach involves sequential excavation beneath the existing footing, subsequently filled with mass concrete to transmit structural loads onto more stable bearing strata. This technique also proves invaluable when constructing side return extensions along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through additional storey construction frequently require underpinning works to reinforce the existing foundation structure.
We collaborate extensively with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver superior quality, cost effective structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracking in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall assemblies
- Subsiding or sloping interior floor levels
- Door or window frames exhibiting binding or sticking
- Skirting boards separating from wall surfaces
