Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I live in my house during underpinning?

    In many cases, you can remain in your home during underpinning, especially if the work is localised and external. However, if there are safety concerns, extensive internal work, or major excavation, you may need to vacate temporarily. A builder or engineer will assess the risks and provide guidance based on the scope of the project.


  • What causes foundation movement?

    Foundation movement is typically caused by changes in soil moisture, reactive clay soils, tree root intrusion, poor site drainage, leaking pipes, or inadequate original construction. When soil expands, contracts, or washes away, it can no longer support the structure above it, leading to cracks and instability that may require underpinning.


  • Are there different types of underpinning methods?

    Yes. Common methods include mass concrete underpinning (traditional), beam and base underpinning, screw pile underpinning, resin injection, and mini-piled underpinning. The right choice depends on soil conditions, building type, and the extent of foundation movement. Each method has different cost, time and suitability factors.
