Types of Subsidence Repairs
The most suitable alternative depends on soil type, access and site logistics.
- Traditional underpinning of residential building foundations — many UK and London homes have very shallow foundations. Underpinning is often combined with lowering the existing slab.
- Tanking and waterproofing following underpinning, including cavity drain membrane and sump installation.
- Screw piles as an alternative to underpinning.
- Micro piles as an alternative to underpinning.
- Grouting and ground improvement as an alternative to underpinning.
