Before epoxy can be injected, cracks must be prepared.


Strapping

Underpinning prevents foundation settlement and cracking. It distributes the structure’s weight evenly and provides greater support.


Homes built on clay-like soils may need underpinning. Foundation cracks and settlement can result from moisture fluctuations.


Contact a foundation contractor if you notice cracks in your foundation. The contractor will inspect the foundation and determine the cause.


Concrete Underpinning Vs

Concrete underpinning is the process of removing sections from a foundation in order to increase its bearing capability and support it with solid strata. After the concrete has cured it is poured.


You have two options for concrete underpinning.


Concrete underpinning involves the excavation of the foundation in order to pour concrete underneath the footings to increase their bearing capability.
