Underpinning A House

Underpinning A House

The process of underpinning a house refers to adding to the foundations of a building in order to strengthen them. This is typically done if the original, existing foundation is inadequate and unable to support the building. This is a common problem in older buildings.

Underpinning is also needed when subsidence is involved, movement of the ground results in weakened foundations or waterlogged soil. The ground can also become waterlogged for other reasons, such as damaged drains. A further cause of weakened foundations is the presence of excavations such as old mines under the building. If you are in need of underpinning services, our groundworks team is fully trained. Their skills and experience will deliver a quality solution to meet all your underpinning needs.

We hired a groundworks contractor to install a new septic system on our property, and we were very happy with their work. They were very professional and knowledgeable, and they kept us updated throughout the entire process. The team was always on time and worked efficiently to complete the job as quickly as possible. The finished septic system works perfectly, and we would definitely use this contractor again for any future groundworks needs.

I have nothing but praise for this company. They have excellent customer service, and great equipment, they work really hard, and do work of the highest quality. I’m absolutely satisfied, and will definitely be working with them again if the need arises- although they’ve done such good work I don’t think there will be any need.

I got a really reasonable quote from this company, considering how much work it takes to get a property ready for building on. They took care of everything, from the electrics, water, and gas to the foundations and landscaping. They showed their experience and capability and worked diligently to get everything done as quickly as possible. Thanks to the whole team for all the work they did, I’ll definitely be recommending them to anyone who could use their services.

BNS did a groundwork construction for my house project last year. They did a great job, it was quick and clean, the team estimated and showed me all the prices in a very professional way, they also kept watch on a budget and helped me make it to the point even though the costs rose a lot. For any groundworks or basement things I recommend them highly 🙂

Defending Against Moisture: The Barrier Waterproofing System

Before any underpinning is carried out a qualified structural engineer will assess your home. The engineer will investigate your house's movement and the consequential damage. They will be able to tell you the cause of the movement. In addition to the engineer's assessment, a soil assessment will also need to be performed to assess how firm the soil is and how deep the underpins need to go. The soil test assesses up to 8m deep. The conclusion of the soil report will give information about the best location and position of the underpins that will be used to stabilise your home.

Strength in Protection: The Structurally Integral Waterproofing System

Before our team begins any physical labour we will provide you with a quote that is fully detailed regarding costs and services. We make sure you know exactly where your money is going and that there are no unexpected or hidden extras. Underpinning begins with the excavation of the soil around your foundation, this makes space, where concrete underpins can be placed. Formwork is installed and steel wires are set to be used as reinforcement. The formwork acts like a mould so that the poured concrete matches the exact shape, and size and is in the exact location.

Channeling Excellence: The Drained Waterproof System

When it's time for the pins to be inserted they are driven deep into the soil until they are anchored or into drill holes. The first step is the construction of concrete underpins. We will arrange for a structural engineer to be present to ensure that the underpin footings have been placed at the correct depth. Following this, the soil that was originally excavated is backfilled and compacted. Your foundations are now reinforced, stabilized and secure. Our contractors will now perform any pre-arranging repairs such as fixing cracks.
