Most contractors will offer concrete underpinning as the best option for fixing foundations and building subsidence. Concrete does not address the soil’s reactivity, which in some cases can make it ineffective.

We use a chemically engineered slow set resin instead of concrete. This patented solution mimics the natural behaviour of reactive soils, which means that it’s ideal for Adelaide homes. We can also control every aspect of the resin so we can tailor it to your particular site and soil type.

Yes. We offer a 10 year guarantee that if your house moves or sinks any further, we’ll come back and inject again. If we don’t provide you with a measurable result, we won’t charge you a cent.

We use a specialised keyhole injection technique that is significantly less invasive than traditional underpinning. We can accurately target and deliver our resin compound to the necessary depth without the need for excavation.

Since we can accurately target our mixture, we don’t have to excavate or do any intense, invasive procedures. Not only does this make the process significantly faster, but it also makes it more affordable and more reliable.

Underpinning is the gold standard for repairing foundations. The traditional method involves digging below the foundation footings and reinforcing the footings with concrete and steel.

Resin injection underpinning Adelaide buildings is highly effective and our patented method for treating reactive clay soils modernises this concept by injecting beneath the footings of the building. The chemically engineered structural resin fills cracks and voids, and once set has the strength and flexibility needed to support a building of any size.

Our patented technique and resin provide an exciting alternative to traditional underpinning, as it allows us to raise your foundation, re-level, and re-support the entire structure and stabilise the foundation soil for years to come. It’s the best way to deal with buildings that rest on highly reactive soils and keep your structure safe and sound.

Our office in Adelaide services the entirety of South Australia (SA).

A sinking foundation is often the first sign of building subsidence, which is when a building sinks into the ground. Adelaide is notorious for having highly reactive soil, which expands and contracts when the moisture content of the soil changes. When this soil moves, it can cause your foundation to sink, leading to further structural issues. When foundation problems strike, you can trust Urathane Solutions to underpin Adelaide’s homes and business buildings.

It depends. Cracks are an inevitable fact of life in Adelaide, and most tend to be cosmetic and superficial. However, larger cracks are often the first sign of major problems like sinking foundations. The experts at Urathane Solutions can determine the severity of your wall cracks and will evaluate the structural integrity of your home. If they’re minor cosmetic issues, we’ll even show you how to patch them up seamlessly.

No. We can do the entire underpinning process from outside using our patented injection method. The structure of your home remains intact throughout the procedure. In most cases you can even stay at home or keep working while our underpinning Adelaide service is in progress.

Our method is minimally disruptive since we don’t have to dig holes to reach your foundation’s footings. While we may cause a bit of damage to your garden, we don’t have to dig or drill any large holes. We also clean up after every project to ensure we leave things as we found them.

This is in contrast to traditional underpinning methods where there is often a need for digging holes in your house or garden and if your property requires extensive foundation stabilization or strengthening, greater excavation works may be necessary. However, the extent and location of the digging can vary.

Both techniques aim to strengthen foundations but concrete underpinning doesn’t address the reactive nature of soils found in South Australia. Resin underpinning is suitable for most site conditions, accessibility, and project requirements.

Concrete underpinning involves excavating sections beneath existing foundations and pouring concrete into the excavated areas. This process provides additional support and stability to the foundation by increasing its load-bearing capacity. Traditional concrete is typically used in this method with the aim to create a strong and durable foundation.

Resin underpinning utilises a high-strength resin injected into the soil beneath the foundation. The resin expands, filling voids and consolidating the soil, thereby stabilising the foundation. It is a non-invasive technique that is suitable for structures with limited accessibility or where minimal disturbance is desired.

If you’re in South Australia (SA) and concerned about the stability of your house, it’s essential to assess the situation. Consider the signs of foundation issues, such as cracks or uneven floors. If you notice any problems, it’s time to get expert advice. Contact a reputable company that specialises in Adelaide and SA underpinning such us Urathane Solutions. These professionals have the necessary expertise to evaluate your house and recommend suitable solutions. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us to discuss the methods we use in more detail. Remember, when it comes to the safety of your house, it’s crucial to rely on qualified experts who understand the complexities of underpinning.

These are several of the common problems that can have detrimental effects on the structural integrity of the home or business building. Water leaks in the foundation can lead to moisture seeping into the walls, causing dampness and potential damage. Subsidence, often caused by reactive soils, can result in uneven floors and wall cracks. Mature trees near the house may have expansive root systems that can affect the stability of the foundation. Poorly compacted soil can lead to settling and unevenness. To address these issues, homeowners should consult the experts at Urathane Solutions to get the right advice for fixing whatever problems your property has. We specialise in underpinning but we also work closely with our sister company TradeCo who can address other structural, drainage and superficial building issues with plastering, brickwork, stonework and wall cracks that are commonly faced by Adelaide home and business owners.

Factors could include soil composition, water drainage, and the quality of the concrete and techniques used in construction can also play a significant role. If issues arise, get the house inspected by a professional with a license checked for expertise. Timely service repairs and structural underpinning may be necessary to restore the security of your house.

When selecting underpinning methods for house repairs, several important factors should be considered.

• Obtain multiple quotes from professionals with reliable experience – we have 40 years experience specialising in underpinning Adelaide’s houses.
• Confirm if they are appropriately licensed – Urathane Solutions’ License No. BLD 277 345. We’ve also been granted a patent for our ground engineering solution for water reactive and clay soils and our geo-polyurethane resin injection materials are chemically engineered in Australia to Australian and New Zealand Standards.
• Be clear what the price and service includes – At Urathane Solutions we give fixed-price quotes and we guarantee a measurable result or there is no charge.
• Educate yourself on the differences between resin injection and other methodologies – we think you’ll agree with us on the superiority of resin injection underpinning to traditional concrete underpins.

Making an informed decision is important to ensure a successful and durable underpinning solution for your home and properties. Give us a call and arrange a free inspection and we think you’ll agree that Urathane Solutions is the leading choice with our experience, patented technology, proven solutions and considering the expertise of the team.
