Does my building require underpinning?
A good number of properties here do not need it. Fixing drainage, managing nearby trees or running a crack-monitoring programme resolves many cases with no foundation work at all. Underpinning is only put forward when the site investigation shows the foundations genuinely cannot be stabilised any other way.
