Foundation Repairs and Permeation Grouting 

 Foundation repairs.

​

There are many types of foundation failure

The foundations could crack , sink ,They 

could have lifted or moved due to pressure from obstructions that have been placed or have grown to close 

 Even poor workmanship could cause failure of the foundation and also if the wall design has been changed then extra load pressure could cause failure of the foundations    

​

Some of the common causes are:

- tree roots under foundation.

- Poor compaction at construction stage.

- Undermining around foundation due to water leaks,  Causing movement.

- Construction works  nearby

- Drainage problems.

Change in wall design placing extra load on foundations

​

Soil Permeation  and injection repairs

​

If the soil or sand  below the foundation is weak or loose,  then the concrete foundation can crack or sink .

This will result in the structural integrity of the walls or building becoming  weakened 

and cracks will develop

​

We offer the following  systems of repair:

​

Soil Permeation injection repairs.

Soil permeation is used to rectify and prevent issues on:

- Proposed building and excavation sites.

- Swimming pools.

- Buildings with foundation problems.

- Boundary walls.

- Structures in need of foundation strengthening.

​

Underpinning foundations.

For strength and support.

​

Grout injection.

The grout injection system is used to lift concrete floors and walls

Also to fill voids that may be have developed under the concrete causing movement and sinking creating  structural concerns

​

Foundation  underpinning.

- Lifts concrete foundations that have dropped and are causing cracking and alignment issues,

Also underpinning to stop house cracks and wall failures
