Foundation Underpinning

Underpinning stabilizes foundations by transferring the load to deeper, more stable soil layers, using QFR's steel push pier or Adjust-A-Pier systems depending on foundation type.

Installation process

How we install foundation underpinning

A clear path from inspection to finished work.

STEP 01

Inspection

We assess settlement and confirm underpinning is the right approach.

STEP 02

Load path planning

We identify support points needing extended foundation depth.

STEP 03

Installation

Piers are extended to stable, load-bearing soil.

STEP 04

Stabilization

The structure is transferred onto the new support system.

STEP 05

Sign-off

Documentation and warranty are provided.

"The mistake people make is treating a symptom as the problem. We diagnose why a foundation moved before we decide how to stabilize it, then stand behind the work with a warranty tied to what the piers actually reached."
