Re-piling

Uneven or slanting floors are often caused by rotten, damaged, settled or undermined foundations. Foundation settlement is generally due to ground shrinkage or stormwater run-off that tracks into the ground and around and under old foundations. 

We can fix this issue by re-piling the foundations, tackling the problem at its root cause. We will also repair any rotten areas of the sub-floor and then re-align the uneven floors via structural framing.

Underpinning

Concrete foundation settlement is often caused by ground shrinkage or stormwater run-off tracking around or underneath the concrete footings supporting your house.

We can fix this issue by underpinning your settled concrete footings, guaranteeing no further settlement of your house's structure for the rest of its life-span.

Retaining Walls

There are many great uses for retaining walls, such as supporting higher ground, or simply creating different ground-heights for your house and garden. We ensure that retaining walls have a good drainage system in order for stormwater to run off any retained ground.

He was very pleasant and ensured that we understood what he was doing to fix the issue every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Underwood Foundations to friends and family. Thanks Luke!
