Signs of subsidence

What we solve

Worried about cracks, sinking floors, or other signs of subsidence? These are often signs of unstable ground beneath your home. We solve the problem at its source by strengthening the ground itself, providing a long-term solution that protects your most valuable asset and gives you lasting peace of mind.

Cracks in walls and ceilings

Look for diagonal cracks spreading from corners of doors and windows, or stair-step cracks in brickwork. These are common signs your home's foundation is shifting.

Sinking or uneven floors

You may feel a slope as you walk, or see a gap opening between the floor and skirting boards. This suggests the ground beneath is no longer stable.

Sticking doors and windows

When a foundation moves, it can distort door and window frames, causing them to jam or not close properly. You might also notice new gaps have appeared.

Subsidence caused by clay shrinkage

During long dry spells, clay-rich soils can shrink and pull away from your foundation, causing it to settle. This is a leading cause of subsidence.

Problems from leaking drains or poor ground

Water from broken pipes can wash away soil, creating voids beneath your home. Alternatively, the ground may have been poorly compacted when your home was originally built.

Our process

How does it work?

1

Step 1

Site preparation and drilling

Our professional team arrives and prepares the site. We then drill a series of small-diameter holes into the ground or floor slab in the areas that require treatment. This process is clean, fast, and non-disruptive.

Step 2

Geopolymer injection

We inject our specialist geopolymer solution through the holes. The material flows as a liquid into any voids or weak zones in the soil, then expands with immense pressure to compact the ground and strengthen it from beneath.

Step 3

Precise laser monitoring

We monitor the entire process in real-time using precise laser levels. This live data enables our technicians to accurately assess the injection's effect on the ground, ensuring the work is delivered exactly according to your home's bespoke engineering plan.

Rapid curing and completion

Our geopolymer material cures to 90% of its full strength within minutes, providing immediate support for your home. Once the injections are complete, our team tidies the area, leaving your property ready for immediate use.

Resin injection underpinning

Frequently asked questions about resin underpinning & Geobear's solution

Common signs include new diagonal cracks (often wider at the top), sticking doors or windows, and rippling wallpaper. While these are strong indicators, the only way to know for certain is with a professional assessment. We can help with an initial, no-obligation consultation to evaluate the signs.

Our solution is a highly engineered geopolymer resin. When injected into the ground, it expands with controlled force and hardens in minutes to improve the soil's strength. Once cured, the material is inert, stable, and environmentally neutral, meaning it won't release any harmful substances into the ground.

Traditional underpinning is like open-heart surgery, requiring major excavation, concrete, and weeks of disruption. Our solution is like keyhole surgery. We inject our material through small tubes, with no need to dig up your garden or move out. It’s faster, cleaner, and far less stressful.

The cost varies depending on the scale of the problem and your property type. However, because our process avoids major excavation and is completed much faster than traditional methods, it is often a more cost-effective solution overall. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote after a thorough assessment.

Absolutely not. Our process is designed for your convenience. The work is quiet, clean, and our teams are highly professional. You and your family can stay at home and continue your daily routine without interruption.

Most residential projects are completed in just one or two days. The ground is strengthened almost immediately as our material cures to 90% of its full strength in about 15 minutes.

While our initial quote can be similar to underpinning, the total project cost is often significantly lower.

Our non-disruptive method saves you thousands in hidden expenses by allowing you to stay in your home, avoiding the need for alternative accommodation.

Furthermore, because there is no excavation, you also avoid the costs to get your home back to normal. These costs typically concern rebuilding your garden, patio, or driveway, making it a faster and far more cost-effective solution overall.

Yes. We have complete confidence in our engineered solutions. All our work on residential properties is backed by a 10-year, insurance-backed guarantee for your long-term peace of mind.

The best first step is to not panic. Contact us to arrange a friendly, no-obligation chat. We can discuss what you're seeing, answer your questions, and advise on the best course of action.
