A Skilled Workforce
Underpinning generally consists in solidifying the foundations of a building. This stabilizes the foundation, which may otherwise distort as a result of soil movement, for example. In addition to reinforcing the foundation, underpinning can also take the form of extending a basement or converting a crawl space.
Many built their homes with crawl spaces, which the practices of the time originally deemed safe. We now know that this presents significant risks, such as mold, damp and unpleasant odors, infestations, subsidence and deterioration of materials. Underpinning work requires specific machinery and skilled manpower. What’s more, at Béton Fondation Plus, we can also carry out work in confined spaces, for quality results!
It’s important that the contractor carry insurance specific to this type of work.
