Traditionally, the only solution for subsidence in residential properties was underpinning, using techniques such as mass concrete or piling. These involve digging out from under the foundations of your home, an expensive, complicated and time-consuming process that is disruptive to your home, family and probably your neighbours.

Mainmark’s methods, on the other hand, keep subsidence costs down because they are quick to implement and require none of the extensive digging under your home.

Our Teretek® resin injection technique is similar to keyhole surgery. We drill small holes, approximately 16mm in diameter, through the floor or under your home’s foundations and then inject our specially formulated resin into the soil underneath, often to various depths. Our award-winning JOG computer-controlled grouting technology can also be used to treat subsidence quickly and effectively. Mainmark ground improvement technologies:

● Support foundations by filling in any voids under your home
● Can gently lift your property, bringing it back to level
● Improves the soil underneath your house, increasing ground load-bearing capacity and mitigating liquefaction.

Once the work is completed, only minor repairs may be necessary, such as filling in the small holes drilled through your floors and patching up the cracks in the walls that were caused by the subsidence.

Mainmark’s methods typically take less than a full day, keeping subsidence costs – and stress – to a minimum.
