Underpinning Contractors Shirley

There are several reasons why underpinning in Shirley might be necessary and therefore different approaches to the methods used. It involves putting a new foundation under an existing foundation in order to provide more support or shore-up failing foundations.

We encounter this where sinking and subsidence has occurred due to ground movement which can be due to changes in soil conditions or local excavations in Shirley and the solution demands additional support. Often, we are dealing with restricted access and need to minimise vibrations to ensure we don’t make the situation worse.
