PRESSURE GROUTING Repairing unique soil and structural issues in Atlanta, GA.

THE PROBLEM Foundation problems arise when the soil beneath your property is too weak to support the weight of the structure. When the soil begins to sink, so does the foundation. This can lead to uneven window frames, sticking doors, and wall cracks, but that’s not all. If the foundation is not properly repaired, serious and more costly issues like water damage and structural damage may occur. PRODUCTS FOR REPAIR Pressure grouting, also known as permeation or compaction grouting, can actually strengthen soil that is weak or has broken apart over many years. This is the direct injection of grout to fill the space in between soil particles. This blends with the soil and fills in all the particles, making it more compact and strong enough to support your foundation. THE PROCESS The actual process of pressure grouting involves placing hollow pipes three to five feet apart in the soil until hard dirt is reached, at which point the grout, a rockless concrete, is forced through the pipes. This blends with the soil and fills in all the particles, making it more compact and strong enough to support your foundation.

THE GOOD NEWS The versatility and flexibility of pressure grouting makes it a popular and often ideal choice when a structure needs to be stabilized with foundation repair. It is also a quiet solution, meaning that you can carry on with your normal routine without much disruption.
