Underpinning in Yarraville

Underpinning strengthens the footings under a house when the ground beneath has moved. It's used for brick homes, brick veneer and concrete slabs, where there are no stumps to replace. Soil can shrink, swell or wash away, especially after long dry spells or heavy rain, and the footings drop with it. Common signs are stepped cracks in brickwork, cracks that run diagonally from the corners of windows and doors, gaps under skirting boards, and doors that no longer sit square in their frames. Part of the house may look lower than the rest. Underpinning supports the sinking section so it stops moving. When you get in touch, tell us what cracks or movement you've seen and roughly when it started. We arrange a time to look at the house and give you one quote for the work. We call you back as soon as possible after you send the form.
