As a homeowner, discovering cracks in walls can be alarming, especially when they are caused by ground instability or subsidence. These issues often arise from the natural settling of the soil beneath your property. Left unresolved, they can lead to serious structural damage, impacting the safety and value of your home. Fortunately, there are innovative, non-intrusive solutions that can stabilize the ground and repair the damage without the need for disruptive construction.
Understanding Ground Instability and Subsidence
Ground instability occurs when the soil beneath your property shifts or weakens, often due to factors like moisture changes, tree root growth, or poorly compacted soil. When the ground beneath a house isn’t stable, it can lead to cracks in the foundation and walls, causing aesthetic damage as well as structural concerns.
At Geosec Ground Engineering, we specialize in ground stabilisation using advanced techniques like resin injection. This method is designed to offer a fast, cost-effective, and non-intrusive way to fix subsidence issues and prevent further cracking.
What Is Resin Injection?
Expanding resin injection is an innovative solution that involves injecting expanding resin into the ground beneath your property to fill voids, strengthen weak soils, and lift sinking foundations. The injected resin expands and hardens, providing much-needed support to stabilize the ground and stop the progression of wall cracks.
Unlike traditional methods that may require excavation and heavy construction, resin injection is a non-intrusive process, meaning it can be done quickly and with minimal disruption to your daily life.
The Benefits of Non-Intrusive Ground Stabilisation
Choosing non-intrusive ground stabilisation through Geosec Ground Engineering offers several benefits:
- Minimal Disruption: No need for noisy excavation or large machinery. Our resin injection process is quick and efficient, meaning your property remains largely undisturbed.
- Cost-Effective: Resin injection can be more affordable than traditional repair methods, as it avoids the extensive labor and materials involved in rebuilding or underpinning.
- Quick Results: Resin injection stabilizes the ground almost immediately, allowing you to see results fast. Once the injection is complete, the resin expands and solidifies, providing instant support to your foundation.
- Eco-Friendly: The resin used in our process is environmentally safe, ensuring that your property remains secure without harming the surrounding environment.
