Generally, the remedial action for such damage should start with an investigation to establish the cause of the damage. Based on the findings of our investigation general treatments consist of stabilizing moisture conditions by physical barriers or paths or replenishing moisture in dry foundations. This can be followed by repair of the masonry and wherever possible added articulation should be included while repairs are being effected. Structural repairs to the footing system such as deep underpinning is generally only considered as the last resort. Soil Tests (site classification) for residential dwellings, industrial, commercial and institutional buildings, be they part of a subdivision or an individual allotment or building extension are required to assess the subsurface conditions and therefore enable design of appropriate foundations. SITE Geotechnical regularly undertake these types of investigations in accordance with the Australian Standards; AS2870-1996: "Residential Slabs and Footings - Construction" and AS1726-1993: “Geotechnical site investigations” The findings of our field investigation and subsequent site classification are presented by Site Geotechnical in a formal report which generally forms part of a building application.
