Our Alternative to Underpinning in Four Simple Steps
Our experts drill holes in through the foundations
Discreet 16mm holes are drilled and injection tubes inserted
We inject an expanding geopolymer resin
The material expands, compacting and reinforcing weak soil beneath the foundation
The material hardens like concrete
Within minutes the resin becomes rock solid, the equivalent to concrete underpinning
The property is raised and foundations stabilised
Your property is stable. In cases we can lift the foundation which closes cracks in walls

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
The soils beneath the foundation will be stabilised to prevent further movement (subsidence). In many cases, the expansion force of our geopolymer can also lift the structure and you could see cracks close and windows and doors will function properly.
Generally, yes. But each project is different and the time depends on the stabilisation required, the scale of the area needing repair, and ground conditions. Most projects are fully completed within 1-2 days.
