Foundation Repair
What is Foundation Repair?
Foundation repair is the process of restoring stability to compromised foundations by reinforcing soils and correcting settlement. Using trenchless polymer injection, this method fills voids, strengthens bearing capacity, and provides long-term support without the disruption of excavation or replacement.
Problems It Solves
- Differential settlement causing cracks in walls and floors
- Loss of bearing capacity in weak or eroded soils
- Voids beneath slabs, footings, or foundations
- Structural stress due to expansive clays or groundwater migration
- Costly downtime and disruption from traditional excavation methods
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to lift and stabilize foundations
- Provides lightweight structural support without overloading soils
- Fills voids to restore uniform bearing conditions
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Increases soil strength for improved load transfer
- Creates rigid reinforcement beneath critical foundation elements
- Provides durable support for long-term performance
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Effective in wet or saturated soil conditions
- Expands reliably to block water migration beneath foundations
- Maintains stability even under fluctuating groundwater levels
Benefits of Foundation Repair
Foundation repair with polymer injection provides a trenchless, cost-effective solution for correcting settlement and restoring structural support. This process improves safety, prevents further damage, and extends the service life of critical assets.
Long-Term Structural Stability Without Excavation
- Stabilizes foundations without major excavation
- Corrects settlement and restores structural integrity
- Fast curing allows rapid return to service
- Provides long-term durability against future soil movement
Key Applications

How Our Process Works
1
Investigation
Site is inspected and soils are tested to identify settlement or void conditions
2
Planning
Injection grid and depths are designed based on foundation type and soil profile
3
Access
Small-diameter injection ports drilled at strategic locations with minimal disruption
4
Injection
Expanding polymers placed in controlled lifts to densify soils and restore support
5
Monitoring
Real-time tracking ensures even lift and stabilization
6
Validation
Post-injection testing confirms soil strength and structural performance
