Atlas Piers of Atlanta uses the process of underpinning to strengthen, stabilize and lift the foundation of most existing buildings or structures.
The need for underpinning can arise due to the following reasons:
- The existence of below ground debris pits.
- The original foundation lost its strength and is no longer stable.
- The application or loading of the structure changed.
- Modification of surrounding soils.
- The properties of the soil supporting the foundation have either changed or were not properly assessed during the original construction.
- Nearby construction created an unstable condition.
