Underpinning Melbourne

Underpinning Melbourne is a two stage endeavour. The first of these is carrying out an assessment on your property. This includes recruiting a structural engineer to examine the ground and soil around your house, and the output is an initial brief report.

The underpinning process is quite complex, and your team will be comprised of: a field worker, a concreter, an engineer and a geochemical engineer, as well as a friendly admin team back at home base to take care of your customer service inquiries.

Over a few visits, the field worker will undergo a detailed assessment on your foundations, of which you will receive a copy. Next, they may engage a geochemical engineer to test the soil around your structure. Further, an action plan will then be developed and if approved, work will take place to stabilise your residence.

At the base of most houses are concrete or resin layers which lock your foundation in place. Thus, once an assessment is made, the next step is engaging a concreter or chemical engineer to carry out the planned work. They will either use concrete or resin pour into the base. Additionally, there are some advantages and disadvantages as to which is best, but the team would walk you through these before starting on the work.
