Description
We are a specialist underpinning company, in business for 25 years. We use a unique hydraulic system known as jacked piling. This involves lifting the structure, and then securely welding and concreting the pins in position under the foundations. The unsightly cracks can then be patched and painted once and for all!

We will are happy to travel to other provinces to accommodate you. WHAT IS UNDERPINNING? It is a process of installing a system of piles to give extra vertical support under foundations of various existing structures, where the soil is failing to carry the required loads. WHEN DOES ONE UNDERPIN ? The first sign is the appearing of structural wall or floor slab cracks that indicate loss of the support from the soil below the footings. The cause could range from, underground water, white ant nests, old decaying tree stumps below the footings, various soil types and most common of all is builders who have not dug the foundation trenches deep enough and cast the footings in the loose fill material that is still in its process of consolidating. The shape, size and position of the crack pattern will indicate where and what must be done. Service Areas
