Underpining your home can be an essential part of ensuring its structural integrity and preventing expensive foundation repairs down the road. While underpining has many benefits, it’s also important to know the right time to underpine your home and to have it done by a reputable contractor who can complete the job quickly and easily. Here are three reasons why you should consider having your home underpined and how you can tell when the time is right.
What is underpinning?
Underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilizing the foundation of a home. This is usually done by excavating around the perimeter of the foundation and installing support beams or piers beneath it. The underpinning of a foundation is important because it helps to prevent settlement, which can cause cracks and other damage to the home. It can also help to prevent Foundation failure during an earthquake.
When is it necessary?
If your home is more than 50 years old, chances are it doesn’t have an underpinning basement. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, many homes built before the 1950s were constructed without one. However, if you live in an area with a high-water table or your home has started to show signs of foundation problems, it may be time to consider underpinning your home.
