Several factors can cause the soil around your home to become unstable over time. For example, erosion due to poor drainage or leaky pipes can cause erosion. Additionally, poorly compacted fill dirt from the initial construction may settle unevenly. Furthermore, repeated freezing and thawing cycles can degrade soil over the years. Finally, the decay of buried organic material like tree stumps or construction debris can create voids beneath and around your home. Unstable soil can lead to serious structural issues. Therefore, it's crucial to address soil instability as soon as possible.
The good news is that unstable soil can be repaired using a process called polymer injection. This involves injecting a structural polymer into the ground. These advanced polymers fill voids, permeate loose soil, and then bind it together, creating a rock-solid base for your concrete slabs. Moreover, Alchatek's soil stabilization polymers are eco-friendly and NSF-certified to strict environmental standards.
While polymer injection is a highly effective solution, it's not a job for amateurs. Successful soil stabilization requires specialized equipment, extensive knowledge of soil conditions and injection techniques, and a careful touch. That's why it's important to hire an experienced contractor who specializes in this type of work.
A qualified professional will follow a thorough process to stabilize your soil. First, they'll evaluate your property's unique soil conditions and needs. Next, they'll design a customized injection plan based on their findings. After that, they'll carefully install injection rods around the problem area. Then, they inject the polymer at specific pressures and volumes for maximum effect. Finally, they'll remove the injection rods and restore the site to its original condition.
Contact a reputable contractor who specializes in soil stabilization today. They'll be able to assess your situation, recommend the best course of action, and stabilize the soil beneath your slabs. Stabilizing soil around your residence is an investment in your home's longevity and your family's safety.
