Underpinning Ireland
At Local Construction Services, we know that a strong foundation is the key to a safe and lasting structure. Unfortunately, over time, some buildings experience foundation issues due to soil movement, poor ground conditions, or changes in loading. That’s where underpinning comes in.

What is Underpinning?
Underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilising an existing foundation. At Local Construction Services, we provide expert foundation and wall crack repairs for homes, businesses, and historic properties across Ireland, giving you peace of mind with strong, secure walls and foundations.
Signs You May Need Underpinning
Not sure if your property needs underpinning? Here are some of the most common warning signs that your foundation may be unstable:
-
Cracks in Walls
Diagonal or stepped cracks, especially around doors and windows, can be a sign the foundation is shifting. -
Doors and Windows Sticking
If doors or windows suddenly don’t close properly, it may be due to uneven settlement. -
Uneven or Sloping Floors
Floors that dip or feel “off level” are often linked to foundation issues. -
Separation Between Walls and Floors
Gaps appearing where the wall meets the floor or ceiling can point to movement below. -
Leaning or Bulging Walls
Structural walls that appear to lean or bow are a serious red flag. -
Previous Foundation Repairs Failing
If patchwork fixes or past repairs haven’t held, underpinning may be needed for a permanent solution.
If you notice one or more of these signs, it’s important to act quickly. Foundation problems rarely fix themselves — and the sooner they’re addressed, the more cost-effective the solution will be.

Client Testimonials
Highly Recommend!
“We recently worked with Edward and his team at Local Construction Services for our home renovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, Edward was professional, approachable, and an absolute pleasure to work with. He kept my husband and I informed at every stage of the project, which gave us so much peace of mind. The work was completed at an impressively speedy pace without ever compromising on quality. Ed’s knowledge and expertise really shone through, and his commitment to keeping to the agreed timeline was remarkable. The craftsmanship is so impressive, and you can truly see the pride they take in their work. We are beyond pleased with the results and would highly recommend Local Construction Services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and talented team!”
Job Well Done
“Ed and the lads from Local Construction Services did the groundworks and built a brick and block extension on my home here in Cavan, and I have to say, I’m really impressed. They worked hard every day, kept things moving, and got it all done quicker than expected! The quality of the work is top notch and the new extension looks great. I’d have no problem recommending them to anyone who needs building work done.”
Professional and Efficient
“We had underpinning and brick stitching done on our home in Dublin and couldn’t be happier with the results. Edward and his team were fantastic from start to finish — always professional, keeping the job running smoothly, and making sure we understood what was happening along the way. It’s not often you find a crew this reliable and so easy to work with. Huge thanks to Edward for all the hard work and care. My wife and I would definitely recommend Local Construction Services to anyone.”
