Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Frodsham
Underpinning reinforces and extends existing foundations when they prove insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely adopted technique involves sequential excavation beneath the current footing, then backfilling with mass concrete to transfer structural loads down to more stable bearing strata. This approach also proves valuable when constructing side return extensions along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of another storey may need underpinning to strengthen the existing foundation system.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, cost effective structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracking in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Interior floors showing settlement or slope
- Door or window frames becoming difficult to operate
- Skirting boards pulling away from wall surfaces
