Underpinning Sales reps can be very charming.

- Reinforced concrete piers and headstocks are the industry standard due to their practicality and long-term reliability. They should be your top choice in most situations!
- Steel Screw Piers “Hype”: Some charming underpinning sales reps talk about the amazing benefits of steel screw piers, but in most cases it is just sales-talk.ย Steel screw piers have some benefits in certain applications, but in most residential cases they are not the best option and are often massively over-priced. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐จ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ป๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐-๐๐ฒ๐น๐น-๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, if and when required, and at a realistic cost.
- Polyurethane Resin Underpinning is excellent for lifting wide concrete slabs that arenโt anchored down. In some cases, it can also be effective for underpinning house footings. But soil conditions and footing and slab design may limit the results. We recommend Polyurethane Underpinning for certain cases every month, so contact us first if you are considering this method for ground stabilization or lifting of footings or slabs.
A structural engineer report from Forensic Engineers will tell you which type of underpinning is best for you.

In many cases, footings and slabs can be stabilized without resorting to any expensive & stressful underpinning at all. And excessive footing movements can often be reduced by following expert advice. Talk to Forensic Engineers for the best solutions!
Subsidence & wall cracks? Before jumping into expensive underpinning, contact Forensic Engineers for an expert, independent structural engineer report.
Our Structural Engineer reports are so good, one Foundation Screw Pier Underpinner has copied our procedures in their marketing!
- Determine likely causes of the damages
- Give descriptive recommendations for actions or repairs
- If any underpinning is required, advise which method is appropriate, approx. locations & number required & approximate costs.
