Underpinning and Foundation Repairs Elton
Underpinning serves to strengthen and extend existing foundations where they have become insufficient or have been compromised by subsidence or ground movement. The traditional approach involves systematic excavation beneath the existing footing, followed by filling with mass concrete to relocate the load onto more stable strata. This technique also proves invaluable when constructing side return extensions along party wall boundaries.
Properties being extended through the addition of another storey may need underpinning to reinforce the existing foundation structure.
We collaborate closely with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high quality, value engineered structural repair solutions.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall surfaces
- Sinking or sloping interior floors
- Door or window frames that stick or bind
- Skirting boards separating from the wall
Should you observe any of these issues, Elton Builders can assist. We remain available seven days a week for free assessments and estimates throughout Elton. Contact our underpinning and foundation repair specialists on 0800 161 5815.
