Underpinning and Foundation Repairs County Laois
Underpinning strengthens and extends the depth of existing foundations that have become inadequate or have been affected by subsidence or ground movement. The most widely used approach involves excavating in a carefully planned sequence beneath the existing footing and filling the void with mass concrete, transferring the structural load down to more stable ground. This method is also commonly used to facilitate side-return extensions along the party wall line.
Properties being extended through the addition of an extra floor may well require underpinning to reinforce and stabilise the existing foundations.
We work in close collaboration with structural engineers and loss adjusters to deliver high-quality, value-engineered structural repair solutions that meet your needs.
Signs of weakened foundations:
- External cracks appearing in brickwork, concrete or masonry wall
- Sinking or uneven interior floors
- Door or window frames that have begun to stick
- Skirting boards pulling free from the wall
