Underpinning brisbane
When it comes to your home, foundation problems can be a major headache. Not only are they unsightly, but they can also lead to more serious structural issues if left untreated. That’s why it’s important to know the signs of a foundation problem and when you should call in a professional for help. One solution that is often used to stabilize a foundation is underpinning.
What Is Underpinning?
Underpinning is the process of extending or strengthening the foundation of an existing structure. This is done by installing piles or posts that extend deeper into the ground than the original foundation. With underpinning, your home will have a more stable foundation that can better support the weight of the structure.
When do you need underpinning?
The first signs to look for are:
- Cracked brickwork
- A gap between the window edge and the brickwork
- Brick piers are out of level or cracked
- The soffit has gaps in the joins or the beading has gaps in the mitre joints
- The floor is out of level
- Cracks in the Gyprock or bowed Gyprock due the pressure
- Cornice is separated at the joints
- Doors and windows jamming and lock not working
- Cracked slab, cracked floor and wall tiles
