The method

How resin injection ground stabilisation works

Workers support a house corner with steel beams during underpinning on a UK street.
Checking the ground first
Before anyone decides resin is right here, a specialist firm carries out a subsidence survey to map the clay depth, moisture levels and any tree roots drying out the soil nearby.
Injecting the geopolymer resin
Small holes are drilled through the foundation. The specialist pumps resin deep into the shrinkable clay, where it expands and compacts the soil to provide a non disruptive foundation fix.
Monitoring the movement
After soil stabilisation on shrinkable clay, the specialist monitors tell-tales on the walls to confirm the ground has stopped moving and the cracks will not widen further.

Resin injection ground stabilisation in Silverhill

Silverhill sits on clay ground, exactly the type of soil that shrinks in dry weather and swells when wet. Homes here need methods suited to that behaviour. Find out more about cracked walls in Silverhill and what causes them.

Cracked walls in Silverhill
Shrinkable clay subsoil
Clay beneath Silverhill homes shrinks during dry spells and swells after rain, causing foundations to move and walls to crack.
Victorian terraced housing
Older terraces built over former sandstone quarries can suffer from localised crown hole formation, adding another reason for uneven settlement.
