Sinking Foundation Repair
With Resin Injection

Injection Technology That Can Quickly Stop
Sinking Buildings & Provide Lasting Structural Support

The Most Common Causes of Sinking House Foundations We Encounter

  • Poor Soil Compaction During Construction: If the soil beneath the foundation was not adequately compacted during construction, it can compress or shift over time, causing the foundation to sink.
  • Soil Erosion: Water runoff, poor drainage, or plumbing leaks can erode the soil around the foundation. As the soil washes away, it creates empty spaces or voids, compromising the foundation's support.
  • Subsidence: Natural or human-induced subsidence occurs when the ground beneath the foundation sinks or collapses due to factors such as groundwater withdrawal, improper excavation, or soil consolidation.

The Symptoms of Sinking Foundations

Sinking foundations can cost you a lot of money if you don’t catch it early. 

Stopping sinking foundations will prevent strutural damage in your walls ceilings and roof.

  • Cracks in Walls: Visible cracks may appear on the foundation walls, floors, or ceilings. These cracks can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or stair-step patterns, indicating foundation movement.
  • Uneven Sinking Floors: Sinking foundations can cause floors to slope or become uneven, leading to noticeable changes in the levelness of the house.
  • Doors and Windows Sticking: As the foundation settles, doors and windows may start to stick or become difficult to open or close properly.
  • Separation of Walls and Trim: Sinking foundations can cause gaps to form between walls, ceilings, and trim, indicating movement and settlement.
  • Uneven Bricks: You may see the lines of mortar in your brickwork with dips along them or curving down towards the corner of the building.

So Why Do Foundations Sink?

1

Subsidence

Subsidence, occurs when the ground sinks or settles downward. This can happen for various reasons, but it often involves the collapse of underground materials or the withdrawal of fluids from beneath the surface.

Compaction

2

Activities such as construction, the installation of underground infrastructure (like tunnels or sewers), or the placement of heavy structures on the surface can cause the soil to compact over time.

3

Natural Processes

Natural processes such as dissolution of soluble rocks (like limestone), and the natural settling of sediment can cause the ground to subside gradually over time.

Groundwater Withdrawal

4

“subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal” happens when groundwater is removed leading to the compaction and settling of the ground above. This can happen by ground water naturally drying or changes in below ground waterflow or drainage.

5

Water Saturation

Water events can infiltrate and saturate sediment layers, causing them to become softer and more prone to compaction. Over time, this softening can contribute to subsidence, particularly with repeated saturation events.

Erosion

6

Waters can erode soil and sediment from beneath structures, roads, and other infrastructure, leading to voids or empty spaces underground. As these voids collapse or fill with water, the ground above may sink, causing localized subsidence.

7

Neighboring Construction

Excavation for foundations and basements can destabilize the ground. This disturbance can lead to soil compaction and settling, causing subsidence in neighboring properties as the soil adjusts to the changes.

Vibration

8

Heavy construction machinery or newly installed roads can generate vibrations that propagate through the ground. These vibrations can compact loose soil, displace sediments, and disturb underground structures, potentially leading to subsidence over time.
