What stabilization is intended to do
Foundation stabilization is intended to support an area where movement or inadequate support has been identified. Underpinning is a broad term for methods that extend, reinforce, or improve the support beneath an existing foundation.
When underpinning may be considered
Underpinning may be part of a repair plan when settlement or support conditions indicate that the existing foundation needs additional support. The decision depends on the structure, the location and pattern of movement, access, loads, and the conditions beneath the foundation.
Why the method matters
Different stabilization systems transfer or improve support in different ways. A particular system should not be selected from a web page or from one symptom alone. The property needs to be evaluated so the repair method can be matched to the actual condition.
