Underpinning and Foundation Repairs County Wicklow
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations that have become inadequate or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used approach involves sequentially excavating beneath the existing footing and filling the void with mass concrete, transferring the structural load onto more stable ground. This method is also commonly applied to facilitate side-return extensions along the party wall line.
Properties being extended through the addition of an extra storey may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundations sufficiently.
We work alongside structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver thorough, value-engineered structural repair solutions to the highest standard.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Sinking or uneven interior floors
- Sticking door or window frames
- Skirting boards pulling free from the wall
