Types of Underpinning Methods
There are several underpinning methods that contractors might use, depending on the specific circumstances of your property:
- Mass Concrete Underpinning: This traditional method involves excavating sections below the existing foundation and pouring concrete to increase depth and width.
- Beam and Base Method: This involves constructing a reinforced concrete beam below or above the existing footing, supported by a concrete base.
- Mini-Piled Underpinning: Suitable for sites with variable ground conditions or restricted access, this method uses small-diameter piles to support the foundation.
Each method has its advantages, and a professional contractor can recommend the best approach based on a thorough assessment of your property.
