Why You Might Need Underpinning

If you’re noticing strange bulging, sinking, or sagging in your walls, it could indicate an issue with your property’s structure. A sinking foundation can cause cracks or misalignments in doors and windows. Here are several reasons to consider our underpinning services for your property:

– Soil Changes: The properties of the soil supporting your foundation have changed.
– Foundation Stability: The original foundation isn’t strong or stable enough.
– Usage Changes: The usage of your structure has recently changed.
– Additional Load Capacity: You’re adding another storey to the building and need to increase the load capacity.
– Cost-Effective Solution: It’s more economical to work on the present structure than build a new one.
– Natural Disasters: A flood, earthquake, or natural disaster has caused your structure to move.

Everything changes over time, and your building’s foundation is no exception. Environic Solutions Inc. is here to ensure that your property remains strong for decades.

Underpinning Provides More Space

Underpinning lowers your basement floors, adding extra square footage to your space. It also improves load-bearing capacity, allowing for the addition of a floor to your property. If you’re already reinforcing your foundation, our services can provide significant additional benefits, including more floor space and increased headroom in the basement.

Catch Issues Before They Happen with Underpinning

One often-overlooked benefit of underpinning is that it grants additional access to your plumbing, insulation, and wiring by opening up the foundation of your space. This allows you to inspect these systems and determine if they need repairs or upgrades. Performing preemptive maintenance can save you from dealing with costly issues in the future. Additionally, this is the perfect opportunity to make efficiency upgrades to your plumbing, electrical systems, or insulation, ultimately saving you money.

Underpinning Raises Property Value

Underpinning provides an immediate return on your investment by raising your property’s value. Even if you’re not looking to sell right away, you can rest assured that your new, solid foundation has more than paid for itself.
