Many property owners may not realise their property is at risk until the signs become too pronounced to ignore. Spotting these early warning signals can help you address issues before they become costly or dangerous. Our traditional underpinning services are the perfect way to strengthen and stabilise the foundations of buildings.
Here, we discuss some key signs indicating you require our underpinning work.
One of the most common signs that your property may need underpinning is cracks, especially those wider than 5mm. While smaller cracks are often purely aesthetic, significant or growing cracks suggest underlying foundation movement or settlement. Keep an eye out for diagonal cracks that run from the window or door frame, because these often indicate structural shifts.
If you’re finding it difficult to open or close doors and windows in your Crawley home, it could be a sign of foundation movement. If the ground beneath your property moves and settles, it can distort the frames, leading to warping or sticking.
As trusted groundwork contractors with years of industry experience, we are happy to advise on the required work for your property. We cover all underpinning services, as well as foundation installations, restricted access piling, and work for basement conversions.
Noticeable unevenness in your floors may indicate that the foundation isn’t settling evenly. This can become more obvious over time, particularly in older properties or those built on loose soil or clay.
