Foundation Underpinning

Handling Your Foundation Underpinning Needs

If you're planning to add another story to your home or commercial building, changing the use of your building, or need assistance with a failing foundation, underpinning may be the solution you need. Adonnis Waterproofing uses underpinning to repair, strengthen, or increase the depth of an existing foundation by lowering the footing to allow it to rest on more supportive soil.

Underpinning may also be used to add depth to a basement or cellar to make it a more useable space. It is also a common practice during construction in dense neighborhoods for adjoining, adjacent, or nearby structures that need the removal or excavation of soil.

Some of the methods used for underpinning include:

• Mass pour
• Mini-piled
• Beam and base

The most common method used for underpinning is mass pour because of its ability to resist heavy foundation loads and its low cost. Regardless of which method is used, our team will help you find the most appropriate option for your unique situation.
