Underpinning and Foundation Repairs County Meath
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 excavating beneath the existing footing in a controlled sequence, then filling each section with mass concrete to transfer structural loads down to more stable ground. This technique is also commonly employed to facilitate side-return extensions running along the party wall line.
Properties being extended through the addition of an extra storey will often require underpinning to strengthen the existing foundations sufficiently.
We work in close partnership with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver a thorough, value-engineered structural repair that meets the highest standards of quality.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Floors that are sinking or sitting at an uneven slope
- Door or window frames that have begun to stick
- Skirting boards pulling free from the wall
