Macro Underpinning
If you own a home that has visible foundation problems, and you’ve done some preliminary research in order to see how to correct the problem, chances are you’ve come across the term “underpinning”. This word is frightened around quite a bit online, but it’s never really given the definitive treatment. In the home improvement realm, the term underpinning simply means the procedure of making your foundation strong again. When your home was constructed, the foundation was capable to support the weight of the rooms built on top of it, but over time, due to a variety of reasons, it can weaken. Often, homeowners aren’t even aware they have a foundation problem until they experience a cracked basement wall or worse.
Underpinning involves excavating and pouring new footings to the depth where your new basement floor will be. This is done in sections, and the load of the foundation is carefully transferred and supported as each section is completed. It’s a slow and careful process as you’re basically undermining the integrity of the foundation during the basement lowering process.
