Symptoms Signs: Cracks on the wall
Cracks on the wall are very common signs of foundation problems in a house. Most cracks appear on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling.
Underpinning System: Step 1
In this step of the process, our foundation experts are softening up the surface of the soil to make the digging a little easier.
Underpinning System: Location
Every pier location is crucial for the whole underpinning process to work as expected because every wall and every room needs a different or a very specific level of support to provide the right stability to the whole house.
Underpinning System: How deep is enough?
The answer for each Homeowner might be different since every house got built, located, and meant for different purposes. On the Other hand, mother nature plays a huge role in this case since the strata might be located in a different depth depending on the area.
Underpinning System: Protecting is caring
Whenever our foundation experts are working on a project, they need to make sure that all surroundings are protected from any unfortunate event that might negatively affect the area; that is why our foundation experts use plastic sheets to cover all the areas and protect them.
Underpinning System: Distance is key
The distance between each of the piers is very important because depending on how close or far away each pier is from the other the piers provide a different level of foundation support to the specific area.
