When your home’s foundation starts showing signs of damage, underpinning is one of the most effective solutions. This process involves installing additional support underneath the existing foundation to prevent further sinking or settling. It may involve drilling until hitting more solid soil and using that to reinforce the damaged foundation.
The materials used in this process vary depending on the type and severity of the damage, but some common options include concrete piers, steel beams, and helical piles. Underpinning can help stabilize your property’s foundation and prevent problems like cracks in walls or uneven floors.
It can also address issues caused by moisture in the soil beneath your home, which can cause the foundation to shift over time.
