Subsidence in social housing can be a significant concern, as it affects the safety and well-being of residents and can also lead to financial implications for the housing provider.

As experts in dealing with social housing subsidence, Mainmark offers solutions that get both houses and multi-occupancy social housing properties back to normal as quickly as possible.

Traditionally, resolving social housing subsidence would have required underpinning or piling, a complicated, time-consuming, and expensive process that would have required building occupants to vacate the property while work was carried out. But Mainmark’s modern methods simplify the process, treating soical housing subsidence with minimal disruption.

Our Teretek® resin injection and JOG computer-controlled grouting are alternatives to mechanical jacking, underpinning and piling. They deal with the root cause of the subsidence, providing:

• Ground improvement – Increasing the ground’s load-bearing capacity and mitigating liquefaction under social housing.

• Lifting and re-levelling – Bringing the property back to level.

• Void filling – Injecting material into voids in the soil helps to stabilise the foundation.

Our technologies are effective and quick to implement, often taking only a day or two to complete, and occupants can often remain in their homes during the work.
