Cracks in your concrete walls or foundations are often caused by a loss of load-bearing pressure. The footings and foundations of a building rely on this pressure for support, and any compromise can lead to cracks, jeopardising the stability of your property. Underpinning can stabilise your foundation, protecting your property from further damage.
Foundations, while resilient, are highly dependent on the stability of the ground beneath them. Changes or movements in this ground, known as subsidence, can force the foundation to crack. Common causes of ground movement include:
Be alert for the following signs that indicate foundation issues:
Cracked walls, ceilings, and sinking floors are often the result of compromised foundations. If you’re concerned about foundation cracks due to subsidence or settlement, the well-being of your entire property could be at risk.
At Underpinning, we employ a resin injection method to fix cracked foundations, which is more cost-effective and less intrusive than traditional underpinning. This method involves consolidating and lifting your foundation, re-levelling, and re-supporting footings back to their original state, as conditions allow.
We offer a durable solution for foundation cracks using the best chemical resin designed, made, and certified to Australian standards. Our process involves injecting resin at different depths to support existing footings and increase the load-bearing capacity of the surrounding soils.
Our experts drill a series of tiny holes in the affected area.
We inject our specially formulated polyurethane resin.
The resin fills the voids and hardens instantly, compacting the ground. The area is instantly reinforced and re-levelled if required.
