There are several methods of underpinning, each suited to different situations:
- Mass Concrete Underpinning: This traditional method involves excavating sections below the foundation and filling them with concrete to extend the foundation to a deeper level.
- Beam and Base Method: A reinforced concrete beam is constructed below or above the existing footing, distributing the load to new bases.
- Mini-Piled Underpinning: Ideal for sites with variable ground conditions or restricted access, this method uses piles to transfer the load to a stable stratum.
Each method has its specific applications and cost implications, so it's crucial to consult with professionals to determine the best option for your property.
