Foundation inspection by WSP Terrasond
Piles do not last for ever. Wooden piles and grillage can be more or less contaminated by destructive organisms, but if located beneath groundwater level the wood still has a considerable durability. However, due to sewer leakage and other pollutants the decay can be considerable even here. If the groundwater sinks to beneath the foundation level decay will increase in the zone above. The decay can be halted, at considerable cost-saving, if discovered in time and the wooden construction still has sufficient strength.
Fundation inspection:
- A study of existing drawings
- A visual inspection of the property and its surroundings
- The groundwater level is measured and water samples sent to the lab
- Wood samples are sent to the lab
- Wastewater pipes are checked
- Subsidence levelling
Eurobor
Eurobor is the method that preserves your wooden foundation. Foundation-preserving is a quick, gentle and cost-effective way of avoiding having to strengthen your foundation at a later date. The biocide treatment stops the decomposition of wooden piles and grillage caused by microorganisms.
