RESIN INJECTION UNDERPINNING REQUIRED
Springfield Lakes House Subsiding; Resin Underpinning Required.
This house has a waffle-pod slab that has gradual subsidence at the front. And it is causing causing house cracks and gaps that are slowly getting larger and larger. The owner wants to stabilize the slab then start re-painting. And wisely, he called Forensic Engineers to conduct an investigation.
Our thorough Structural Engineer Report found that in this case, the ground conditions were Suitable for the Use of Polyurethane Structural Resin.ย Deep & Shallow Injection would be required to densify the founding soils, and re-support the front of the house slab.
If you are considering Underpinning, but are confused by sales "hype", which method is the best and how much should it cost?ย Contact Forensic Engineers for an independent opinion before signing any contract for Conventional Underpinning, Resin Underpinning, or Steel Screw Pier Underpinning.

- Reinforced concrete pier underpinning is the industry standard due to the practicality and long-term reliability.
- Polyurethane Resin Underpinning can be very effective for densifying and binding founding soils and lifting footings and concrete slabs. It is important that the Resins are injected throughout the soil profile layers that are influencing footing and slab movements, and not just immediately under the footings and slab. Also, certain footing and slab designs and certain ground conditions may limit the results.
- Steel screw piers have benefits where ground water and collapsible soils are encountered, as well as cases where extra deep piers are needed to find strong natural ground. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐จ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ have extensive experience in all types of underpinning and will install the industry standard reinforced ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, or ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐, if and when required, and at a realistic cost.

COOMERA WATERS STRUCTURAL ENGINEER REPORT REQUIRED
A brilliant Building & Pest Report spotted cracking in the top of this column and recommended that the buyer contact Forensic Engineers.
Our investigation found there had been some slight settlements during the build, but the column was "sound-as-a-pound".
And the column cracks could be repaired with cementitious grout.
A great result, and Peace of Mind for the buyer.

Our expert report for the buyer found there has been some settlements of the footings and and the slab some time ago, but they were not serious and they had stopped.
The cracks can be affordably repaired, the garage floor can be lifted quite simply and economically and the leaning wall can be monitored.
The buyer was thrilled and could not wait to move in!
