Footing Issues Rectification

Footing issues can pose a significant risk to the stability and safety of your building. At Fundament, our structural engineers are experts in footing issues rectification, providing professional assessments and tailored solutions to resolve foundation problems effectively. Whether it’s a residential home or a commercial property, we ensure that your building’s foundation is restored to its optimal condition, preventing further damage and ensuring long-term stability.

Our rectification process begins with a thorough inspection to evaluate the condition of the footings and identify the underlying causes of the problem. Common issues include soil movement, drainage problems, poor-quality materials, or inadequate construction practices. Using advanced diagnostic tools and techniques, our structural engineers assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action to restore the foundation.

Based on our findings, we develop a customized rectification plan that may include underpinning, re-stumping, or foundation strengthening using advanced materials and methods. Underpinning involves extending the depth or breadth of the footings to transfer the load to more stable soil, while re-stumping replaces deteriorated stumps with stronger materials to stabilize the building. In some cases, we may recommend the use of helical piers or other specialized systems to provide additional support.

Throughout the rectification process, we prioritize safety, compliance, and minimal disruption to your property. Our structural engineers provide detailed documentation, including structural drawings, engineering reports, and certification, so you have a clear understanding of the modifications being made. We work closely with contractors to ensure that all work is executed according to our specifications and meets local building codes and standards.
