Substrate is the process of correcting properties or structures that have been damaged by subsidence.
This is to strengthen an existing structure.
Digging into the soil can strengthen the soil around your property.
We use stronger materials and deeper feet to stabilize the structure of the
property.
DIFFERENT TYPES of UNDERPINNING
Mass concrete underpinnings
This is the preferred strategy of the the underpinning contractor adelaide.
. Concrete can be laid when the foundation has been extended.
Piling
Pillows will provide the best underpinning. Subsidence will push the piles to the ground.
Stable soil is the best for supporting fragile soil.
Jet grouting
Grout can be used when soil is weakening or showing signs of weakness to strengthen it.
The soil and grout are mixed using a high pressure jet to create a solid foundation.
It is also possible to inject resin into soil.
Basis and beam
Concrete beams can be used as footings. The weight of the concrete beam is transferred to new beam.
This option is compatible with mass concrete underpinning but is far more advanced.
Needle beam for cantilever-cantilever
This is an external requirement.
UNDERPINNING is the reason a house should be REDUCED
Adelaide needs to be underpinned if the ground starts to shift or sink. It may sink or even fall.
Signs are visible before the property is damaged.
These warning signs
- Cracks of a thickness greater that 2mm will be visible.
- Wallpapers damaged by wall movement can be repaired.
- When doors or windows are opened and closed, they will stay together. Subsidence can also cause frames to bend.
- Large trees could have roots under the foundation.
- Clay soils can crack and move under dry conditions.
- Sediments can become saturated and unstable from water leakage.
- Older foundations are less stable than those of new foundations and more susceptible to subsidence
What is UNDERPINNING?
The property's worth can be increased or decreased by underpinning. It all depends on how long-lasting and severe the subsidence was.
Get as much information as you can about the history of the house before you buy it.
Do your research to find out if subsidence has been addressed.
This will enable you to determine if subsidence is present and how severe it might be.
You decide
To ensure your structural foundation is strong and secure, you can use underpinning.
