Foundation Subsidence In Edinburgh
Subsidence occurs when the foundations of a building can no longer fully support its weight. Resin Injection Technology Resin Injection System provides a stronger alternative to traditional Underpinning for subsidence repair and can be completed in as little as one day.
Common causes of foundation subsidence in
Some of the most common signs of subsidence include: • Dropped floors,
• Cracked skirting boards,
• Gaps in skirting boards,
• Doors and windows are sticking or failing to open or close properly,
• Cracks where extensions meet the main building indicating that the extension is pulling away from the main structure.
Subsidence occurs when the foundations of a building can no longer fully support its weight. Subsidence of a property is a serious issues that should be corrected quickly to avoid potentially catastrophic damage to property. Some of the most common signs of subsidence include:
• Cohesive soil shrinking and swelling – Soils such as clay and silt are particularly susceptible to causing subsidence. Changes in weather cause the cohesive soils to shrink and swell leading problems within the foundations.
• Non-cohesive soils being washed away – Soils such as sand and gravel are susceptible to being washed away by water flow.
• Movement of soil structures – A combination of soil types underneath a buildings foundations can result in movement and subsidence.
• Soil decomposition – Natural soils such as peat can decompose and cause ground movement.
• Trees and other vegetation – Roots from nearby vegetation can absorb moisture from the soil, causing it to shrink. This is more common in dryer conditions where plants expand their roots in search of water.
How we can help you
Resin Injection Technology provide a modern alternative to traditional underpinning methods. Our Resin Injection System is a fast, efficient and cost-effective solution for foundation repair in .
The process involves injecting a specially formulated resin into the ground beneath the foundations. The resin expands and hardens, filling voids and stabilizing the soil. This method is less invasive than traditional underpinning and can be completed in a fraction of the time.
Our team of experts will conduct a thorough survey of your property to determine the best course of action. We use state-of-the-art level monitoring equipment to ensure precise results and provide a 25-year guarantee for peace of mind.
