Some underpinning companies employ “hard sell” reps who charm you and promise the world. The most reliable companies send the actual owners and skilled technicians—the people who do the work—to provide expert advice.

Often, these underpinners will suggest you get an independent structural engineer’s report to give you confidence before you commit to expensive work.

Forensic Engineers provide the best expert, independent structural reports. We are on your side because we aren’t trying to sell you underpinning.

1) 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 is the industry standard because;

• it is engineer designed specifically for your property
• it is engineer certified
• it provides reliable results
• it provides long-term peace of mind.

2) 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 is gaining popularity because;

• crews complete most jobs in one day
• it eliminates digging and site mess
• it works great in limited access situations
• it provides remarkable results

Several factors determine the results:
• ground conditions
• building type—particularly the footings and slab design
• the amount of Polyurethane (kilos) budgeted
• the need for injection at multiple depths (rather than just below footings)
• the depth to solid ground (in deep, loose landfill, the resin required to stabilize the ground can be cost-prohibitive)
• most significantly, the experience and skills of the contractors.

3) Established Underpinners use 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 when groundwater causes bored piers to collapse, or when solid founding material is too deep—such as on reclaimed Gold Coast canal properties.

In typical everyday cases, contractors often overprice steel screw piers.

A report from Forensic Engineers will tell you which underpinning type best suits your situation.

In many cases, you can stabilize footings and slabs without resorting to expensive, stressful underpinning. You can also reduce excessive floor level variations by following expert advice.

Before jumping into expensive underpinning, contact Forensic Engineers for an expert, independent structural engineer report.
