Underpinning and Foundation Repairs County Kildare
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations where they have become insufficient or compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used approach involves excavating in a controlled sequence beneath the existing footing and filling the void with mass concrete, transferring structural loads onto more stable ground. This method is also commonly employed to facilitate side return extensions along the party wall boundary.
Properties being extended through the addition of an extra storey will often require underpinning to strengthen the existing foundations adequately.
We work in close partnership with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, value engineered structural repair solutions that meet the specific demands of each project.
Warning signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Floors that are sinking or sloping internally
- Door or window frames that have begun sticking
- Skirting boards pulling free of the wall
