The Geobear Solution: What is the Geopolymer Resin Injection Underpinning Method?

Geobear’s solution involves the geopolymer resin injection underpinning method. It’s a mess-free and non-disruptive alternative to traditional subsidence solutions. In this article, we’ll be telling you everything there is to know about Geobear’s subsidence solution, including what it is, when it’s needed, the signs to look out for, and the benefits to be had. Let’s take a closer look at Geobear’s geopolymer resin injection underpinning method.

What is underpinning & when is it needed?

Underpinning is a ground improvement technique designed to restore strength and stabilise the ground under building foundations when instances of subsidence occur. Subsidence happens when the ground beneath a structure begins to move or shift. It can cause structural damage, eventually causing it to sink into the ground in severe cases.

This can be for a number of reasons, including age, soil type and even nearby tree roots, to name a few causes of subsidence. Underpinning is an effective subsidence solution, but there are different types available. Traditional underpinning methods can include excavation of the ground, and it can be messy and disruptive. 

However, there’s an innovative technology from Geobear that will rectify issues of subsidence in a way that is non-disruptive and mess-free. Our Geobear solution is the geopolymer resin injection method. Let’s take a closer look at what that is and what it can do to effectively rectify subsidence issues for all structures, regardless of their size.

Do I need Geobear’s subsidence solutions? 10 signs of subsidence

There are multiple signs of subsidence that you need to be aware of in order to determine whether or not your home requires Geobear’s geopolymer resin injection underpinning method. The signs of subsidence that you should be looking out for are as follows:

1. Cracks running in a zig-zag pattern throughout interior and exterior walls
2. Cracks in external and internal walls that are wider than 3mm
3. External and/or internal wall cracks that are wider at the top than at the bottom
4. Cracks around doors and windows 
5. Wrinkled wallpaper
6. Sloping floors and ceilings
7. Jammed doors and windows
8. Windows and doors that won’t close
9. Extensions, including conservatories, that have come away from the rest of the house
10. The property is noticeably leaning to one side

Everything you need to know about Geobear’s solution: The geopolymer resin injection underpinning method

Geobear’s solution involves injecting the affected ground with a geopolymer resin. The resin works its way along the fissures and voids present underneath the foundations, expanding and hardening as it goes. This, in turn, improves the ground, restoring strength and stability regardless of the size of the structure that sits on top. As a result, further ground movement is halted. 

It’s a cutting-edge, non-invasive subsidence solution that is available from us here at Geobear. When compared to more traditional underpinning methods, Geobear’s solution can save you both time and money. It’s also mess-free and non-disruptive. Most of the time, you won’t even notice that our team is there while we carry out the Geobear solution, which is the geopolymer resin injection method.

Why choose Geobear’s subsidence solution? 

There are multiple reasons why you should choose the geopolymer resin injection underpinning method – Geobear’s solution. The benefits of Geobear’s subsidence solution are as follows:

• Results are long-lasting – this method has a durable outcome that remains effective for decades to come
• It’s non-disruptive and mess-free – it’s a tidy, hassle-free approach to underpinning as no excavation is required
• The process is quick and efficient – work can be completed in just one day, depending on the severity of the damage and condition of the ground
• Application is versatile – Geobear’s solution can correct long-standing foundation problems and can be applied to a wide range of buildings, no matter their shape or size
• Impressive load-bearing capacity – using patented Geobear technology, lifting power is significant, making it suitable for a wide range of structural repairs, regardless of the complexity of the case
• It’s controllable – resin injection ensures a high degree of precision and control, unlike traditional hydraulic methods
• It’s environmentally-friendly – excavation can cause damage to landscapes, gardens and natural habitats. This just isn’t the case with the resin injection method from Geobear
• Impact on architecture is minimal – only a few holes in the ground are required to inject the geopolymer resin. It can often be executed through existing floor finishes, which is ideal for situations where ground access is limited
