What is Underpinning?

Underpinning is a process that involves reinforcing the foundation of your home to relevel the flooring. Over time, your home's foundation can deteriorate due to soil movement or weaknesses in the original foundation. These issues can lead to further shifting or sinking, causing serious structural damage if left untreated.
