In the majority of situations, a high-quality deep foundation should last a lifetime. After all, the weight of a structure is reinforced to the more robust soil deep within the earth that has the ability to support and stabilize it. When a foundation is installed poorly, it can become susceptible to serious problems like subsidence – and that is where underpinning comes in! This is a foundational solution that is carried out in order to reinforce and ‘repair’ an existing foundation. Read on as we go over three reasons why it makes a good investment…
Affordable
Learning that your property has been affected by subsidence may seem like the end of the world, however there is no reason why foundational instability should break the bank. Underpinning is designed to be affordable in order to allow homeowners and property owners to repair their existing foundation as quickly and as hassle-free as possible.
Versatile
There is a common misconception that a property with a failing existing foundation is destined for collapse, however underpinning is the most sought-after solution on the market due to it’s versatility. After all, it is used specifically within existing builds in order to reinforce a foundation that requires a little bit more support or rectify any damage that has occurred as a result of subsidence. In addition to this, there is no upper limit on the size of the structure which means that underpinning is just as effective in large industrial applications as it is in smaller residential builds.
Stability
Perhaps the most crucial reason to invest in a foundational solution like underpinning is stability as this method is the most effective way to repair an existing foundation that has been damaged by subsidence. A brand-new foundation can be expensive so underpinning helps property owners save money by stabilizing a structure without the need for extensive work to be carried out.
