Step 1 in any work with the foundation
Repair of the foundation of buildings is a necessary measure, because even a well-designed foundation can be destroyed. The deterioration of the foundation can be caused by aggressive environmental influences, such as groundwater, weather conditions, breakthrough of underground utilities or depreciated wear of materials. Also, mistakes may have been made in the design of the building, which lead to the deterioration of the foundation, the formation of cracks and tilting of buildings.
The reconstruction of the foundation of the building ensures the operational reliability and durability of the building, extending its service life beyond the standard service life established during the design. The reasons why it is necessary to reconstruct the foundation can be not only obvious signs of destruction, but also an increase in load, for example, an increase in the number of floors in the building, redevelopment or subsidence of the soil.
Major repair of the foundation is a complex of works, which may include changing the features of the structure, its size and dimensions. During the overhaul of the foundation, the foundation or its individual parts are completely strengthened, as the first and main step in solving the problems of repair or reconstruction.
