The process of underpinning a house refers to adding to the foundations of a building in order to strengthen them. This is typically done if the original, existing foundation is inadequate and unable to support the building. This is a common problem in older buildings.
Underpinning is also needed when subsidence is involved, movement of the ground results in weakened foundations or waterlogged soil. The ground can also become waterlogged for other reasons, such as damaged drains. A further cause of weakened foundations is the presence of excavations such as old mines under the building.
