List of featured suppliers of UNDERPINNING Subsidence on Building Products Index
Underpinning is the process of strengthening the foundation of a structure by adding support or stability. This is typically done when the existing foundation is no longer able to support the weight of the building or is experiencing subsidence. Subsidence refers to the sinking or settling of the ground under a structure, which can cause cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings, or even structural damage. Underpinning may involve excavating under the foundation and pouring concrete support columns or installing piers to provide a stronger foundation and prevent further subsidence.
