Teretek® Re-levels and Re-Supports Subsiding House in Jamisontown

Structural damage to the home due to the soil subsidence included substantial 10mm-15mm stress cracks in the brick veneer walls with separations along window frames and eve sheets.

Mainmark was contracted to improve the ground-bearing capacity of the subsoil and fill the voids under the footings using its proprietary Teretek® engineered resin injection solution; completing the project in just four hours.

Teretek® is a fast and cost-eff ective two-in-one solution that improves the foundation ground and raises and re-levels a home in a single application. The process is likened to key-hole surgery due to its non-invasive nature, unlike traditional underpinning techniques which can be invasive and expensive.

By re-supporting and re-levelling the home, the Teretek resin also successfully closed visible gaps in the brickwork and between the skirting board and floor.

The project was completed in four hours with minimal inconvenience to the residents. The homeowner commented, “I was extremely happy with the outcome. The Mainmark team was very professional and committed to achieving a good outcome. We definitely got the result we were looking for and the process has minimised the need for any further repairs.”
