Frequently Asked Questions
Underpinning is a method used to repair properties affected by subsidence, where soil shrinks and undermines foundation stability. This technique enhances support for foundations that have settled, improving their bearing capacity. Our underpinning services in Melbourne effectively restore the integrity of your property’s foundations.
Your house may need underpinning if the original foundation is unstable or if there are changes in soil properties. Nearby construction projects, the addition of a storey, or damage from natural causes can also necessitate this service. Our underpinning and rectification services in Melbourne assess your property to ensure its safety and stability.
Chemical underpinning, also known as compaction grouting, utilises high-strength polyurethane resin to create solid underpins or a continuous section. This method effectively transfers weight down to a more stable foundation, ensuring enhanced structural integrity for buildings.
While no structural engineering works last forever, effective underpinning should last several lifetimes. The durability of underpinning depends on various factors, including soil conditions. However, ongoing subsidence can pose risks, highlighting the importance of regular inspections.
Signs that your property may need underpinning include smaller cracks in walls and around windows or door frames, indicating potential subsidence issues. Additionally, look for sloping floors and doors or windows that stick and won’t close properly, as these are common indicators of foundation problems.
