IT’S TIME TO STOP EXPECTING REGULAR TROUBLE AFTER A RAINY AUTUMN OR SNOWY WINTER…

Cracked walls and uneven floors are often symptoms of the problem. Many structural problems are due to unstable soil conditions or sagging. To tackle these problems, it is important to understand not only the visible effects on a building or structure, but also what is going on in the soils. Different types of soils cause different problems, and require different solutions. Having an expert who knows what to do can ensure that when you solve one problem, you don’t cause another.

Misunderstanding the situation can lead to disastrous results. As an example, one residential house was damaged after the owner installed decorative paving tiles as a revetment around the perimeter of the house over a layer of lime-sand mortar while doing a major repair. The house was built on a heaving (swelling) clay base. Atmospheric water was seeping through the revetment, saturating the clay at the foundation base. Due to the heaving effect, the clay was unevenly lifting different parts of the building. As a result, the site improvement caused significant damage to the building as the type of base soils was not taken into account when choosing the solution.

WHAT DOES THE BASE PROBLEM LOOK LIKE?

The volume of heaving clay varies with the level of moisture. The soil increases in volume when it is wet and frozen, and decreases when it is dry. In areas with hot climates, visible cracks appear in the ground when it shrinks, and most people are familiar with sticky, slippery wet clay soils that stick to your boots. Structural problems often arise when there are different moisture levels in lower soils, causing settlement in drier areas, or rising in wetter areas.

If you have reached this section, you care about the future of your property. By getting help from qualified professionals in good time, you will save a lot of time and money.

The first step in preserving a building that is prone to collapse is to have the building surveyed by professionals. This will help you avoid making rash or poorly-planned decisions as to what to do in order to stop the process.

GeoResin specialists will come on site and determine the type of foundation deformation and find out the reasons for it. Depending on the data they will make the necessary calculations and determine what actions to take to halt the building destruction and what is the best method of foundation stabilization.

Based on the received information, you can make a balanced decision on which of the three directions to take:

  • 01 Continue to monitor the dynamics of destruction with the help of professional instruments, defining yourself a «point of no return».
  • 02 Develop a draft solution, taking into account structural, financial and «life» constraints, and implement it.
  • 03 Apply for an alternative solution on the basis of the survey to a third party.

THE FOLLOWING FACTORS CAN CAUSE A BASE TO LOSE ITS BEARING CAPACITY:

  • Not properly rammed base
  • Man-caused breakdowns and failures of utility lines
  • Regular fluctuations of groundwater table and soil temperature
  • Earthwork or pile work nearby
  • Regular vibrations impact
  • Organic processes in soils
  • Presence of nearby tree plantations
  • Seismic activity

QUESTIONS THAT GEORESIN WILL ANSWER:

  • What is going on with the house or structure in general?
  • What caused the cracks or deformations in the structure?
  • Is there any point in waiting for improvements or changes and what kind of changes?
  • Can we get by with face-lift?
  • What will happen if nothing is done?
  • Will «store-bought» or «do-it-yourself» solutions help?
  • Can a «familiar foreman» solve the problem?
  • Is it possible, and how, to slow down or stop the process of destruction?
  • Is it possible to get everything back as before? what are the options?
  • When is it better and cheaper to start solving the problem? is it possible not to resolve it right away?
  • How much does it cost to solve the problem and what are the conditions for implementation?
  • What can be done for x hryvnias?
