Step by step: how do we resolve subsidence in 1-2 days?
Our experts drill holes in the affected area
At just 16mm they're typically the size of a 10p and often we don't need internal access
We inject a special geopolymer resin
In a quick and easy process the material will expand and harden to support the property.
The resin instantly hardens like concrete
Within just 15 minutes the resin has expanded to fill any voids and stabilise the ground
The property is raised and foundations stabilised
You'll see the results instantly. Often cracks disappear and doors unstick if we raise the property.
