Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Ellesmere Port
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The traditional approach involves carefully excavating beneath the current footing in controlled stages and infilling with mass concrete to distribute loads onto more stable ground below. This technique is also employed when constructing side return extensions adjacent to party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of an upper storey may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundation structure.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, cost effective structural repair solutions for our local community.
Warning signs of compromised foundations:
- External cracking in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Interior floors that are sinking or showing noticeable slopes
- Door or window frames becoming difficult to open or close
- Skirting boards separating from the wall
