Overview
The Modern Alternative To Underpinning
Traditional underpinning involves digging deep holes next to the footings of your home. This method disturbs your gardens and pavements, often taking weeks to complete.
Underpinning involves mass concrete pouring to widen a foundation, or installing piles to transfer loads to deeper soils.
Your house might be built on soft or expansive soils. In this situation, if only part of the footing is underpinned, differential movement can occur between the underpinned areas and the rest of the house. This can result in new damage to the parts of the structure not underpinned.
The Non-Invasive Solution
Mainmark provides an alternative to traditional underpinning. Our non-invasive, engineered solutions can bring your house back to level. Ground improvement enables the foundations to carry greater loads. It also reduces how much settlement or movement happens across your house from season to season. Our Teretek or Permeation Grouting technologies can be used for ground improvement in suitable soils.
If your house has experienced sinking, our re-levelling solutions can improve the ground beneath your house. We can also carry out ground improvement to mitigate further damage. Mainmark use the Teretek and JOG technologies, which are versatile and suitable for re-levelling both simple and complex structures.
Teretek uses a method of injecting polyurethane resin beneath your house. As the resin expands, it gently lifts the structure. This is also a non-invasive and cost-effective solution.
JOG is a multi-point injection system which uses cementitious grout to re-level your entire house all at once.
