The process of underpinning a house can be expensive, time-consuming and a messy project. It involves excavating the soil underneath the foundations, removing it from the site and replacing it with concrete.

During the underpinning process, residents will need to leave their homes – usually for several weeks – and they may need to remove all their belongings as well. There are also implications upon return as the process can be messy and will require remediation work, whether it is gardening, patio or decking repairs or redecoration of rooms in a home.

Mainmark technologies speed up and simplify the project significantly. Our solutions can be implemented within just a day and there’s no need for the family to leave the house or pack up their things and move to alternative accommodation.

As opposed to underpinning a house, Mainmark solutions are quick, clean and cost-effective. They involve drilling small holes beneath the foundation and sometimes through the floors within the home. Then a resin or cement is injected during a controlled process and can:

● Gently lift and re-level the house
● Improve and strengthen and compact the soil
● Fill in any voids under your house

Once our engineers have completed the work, the floors can be walked on immediately and cars can be parked on drives straight away.

There is no need to restore your garden and patio and wall cracks can close slightly as the home is re-levelled. Redecoration may be needed to make your house look new and fresh again.
