Underpinning in Mornington

Underpinning strengthens the footings under a building when they can no longer carry the load. It is often needed for brick homes and slab sections rather than houses sitting on stumps. Footings can sink when the soil underneath dries out, gets wet or washes away. Tree roots, leaking pipes and poor drainage can all play a part. The signs are usually cracks in brickwork, often running in a stepped line, cracks above doors and windows, and floors or walls that are no longer level. Doors may drag or stop latching. Underpinning goes under the existing footings to give them firmer support and stop further movement. When you call, we call you back as soon as possible and come and look at the cracks and the ground around the house. You get one clear quote for what's needed.
