Why You May Need the Underpinning Services Winnipeg Residents and structures Can Depend On

A primary reason for engaging the foundation or basement underpinning Winnipeg services is to reinforce an existing foundation. You need our underpinning services if the original foundation of your house is not sufficiently strong to support the building. A change in the soil structure can necessitate foundation underpinning, whether due to external influence of soil type.

In most cases, underpinning becomes necessary when the house needs more support. The following factors can weaken the original foundation.

  • The foundation supporting soil has changed through expansion and contraction because of a large tree nearby, contraction and expansion because of moisture, or unrepaired plumbing damage.
  • Inadequately understood soil properties during the original foundation design. That means the foundation is not suitable for the conditions.

In some cases, you may need basement or foundation underpinning due to the following reasons:
  • Natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, freezing and thawing, or droughts can make the structure unstable or cause movements.
  • To boost the existing foundations’ capability, like supporting an additional building’s story.
  • New construction in the neighbourhood may cause soil excavation of the soils that support the existing foundations.
  • Changes in the use of the structure like after a significant renovation.
Our underpinning services cover unstable and weak foundations because of settlement. We also cater to the clients whose building structures have moved or shifted due to droughts or floods. If the soil supporting your foundation has changed, our underpinning services can help. Our underpinning solutions are more economical when compared to new construction.
​
If your foundation has settled or sifted, the entire structure will experience structural damage. That’s why you should know the signs to look out for to determine whether you need foundation repair.
