Basement underpinning work typically involves strengthening or stabilizing the existing foundation of a building by extending or modifying its footings and supports. This process may include excavating beneath the current foundation, installing new support structures, and sometimes replacing or reinforcing existing ones to improve stability and load-bearing capacity. When evaluating requests for underpinning, details such as the current condition of the foundation, the type of soil, the building's load requirements, the scope of work, and any previous structural issues are essential. Additionally, understanding the building's construction history, relevant measurements, and specific goals for the project helps ensure the work is appropriately planned and executed.
