Resin injection underpinning for Sydney homes and buildings — safe, compliant and engineered for peace of mind

For calm, certified foundation repair, we deliver fast, engineered solutions for homes and buildings.

Small access points replace large excavations. We use targeted keyholes to place material where the ground needs support. This approach densifies soil, fills voids and can gently re‑level affected areas.

The process is quick. Most jobs finish in one to two days. Treated areas are usable soon after curing, which reduces disruption to your day and garden.

We focus on safety, compliance and long‑term stability. Our services include assessment, site‑specific design, installation and coordination with engineers for certification where required.

  • We design a solution that suits your site and foundation and deliver it with precision.
  • Works quietly and cleanly to preserve landscaping and internal finishes.
  • For buildings affected by subsidence, we restore stability and reduce ongoing problems.
  • You receive transparent documentation that meets council and engineering requirements.

We keep the work predictable and communicative. You will know what will happen, when, and how long it will take.

What is resin injection underpinning and how does it stabilise foundations?

This method uses targeted, small‑diameter holes to strengthen soil beneath your home. We place an expanding polyurethane material at controlled depths to compact the ground, seal voids and gently lift settled concrete where safe and practical.

How the expanding process consolidates soil, fills voids and gently re-levels

Small holes, typically 6–16 mm, are drilled through slabs or near footings. The material is injected to depths from roughly 800 mm to 6.5 m, depending on site conditions.

Expansion occurs within minutes. That expansion compacts surrounding soil, fills voids and can produce measured lift. Treated areas are often trafficable soon after curing.

When this method is recommended over traditional concrete underpinning

  • Ideal where access is tight or you want to avoid major excavation.
  • Faster results and less disruption to landscaping and interiors.
  • Suited to many concrete slabs, paths and footings needing ground improvement.
  • Our engineers monitor levels in real time to ensure controlled stabilisation and avoid over‑lift.
Feature What it does Typical use
Small‑diameter holes Accesses targeted zones beneath slab Minimal visual impact
Expanding material Compacts soil and fills voids Re‑levels settled areas
Engineering oversight Controls depth and volume Ensures compliant outcomes

We tailor the process to your site and provide clear, engineered reporting so you know the outcome is safe and compliant.

Cracked walls, jammed windows and doors, gaps at cornices and skirtings

You may notice new or widening cracks in walls or around openings. Doors or windows that stick often show movement.

Gaps at cornices and skirtings are another common sign. These symptoms suggest the structure should be checked.

Uneven or sloping floors, unlevel structures and sudden movement

Uneven or sloping floors point to a need for levelling or ground improvement beneath the slab. Sudden movement or tilt is cause for prompt review.

Sunken foundations, sinking concrete slabs, holes and voids in the ground

Local depressions, visible voids or a sunken footing are red flags for subsidence. Early repairs are usually simpler and more economical.

  • New or widening cracks in walls indicate movement.
  • Sticking doors and gaps at trims often signal settlement.
  • Uneven floors suggest levelling or ground work is needed.
  • Localised sinkholes and voids can point to subsidence.
  • Sunken footings or a tilted slab require a structural review.

We offer a free, no‑obligation assessment and honest advice on practical solutions that address causes, not just symptoms. If you see any of these issues at your property, book a free assessment with our team.

Underpinning Sydney’s resin injection process: precise, fast and non-invasive

We access only the zones that matter, then improve the ground beneath your home with rapid, controlled treatment.

Prepare

We mark target points and drill small holes, typically 6–16 mm. This gives surgical access with minimal impact to gardens and finishes.

Inject

We place a specialised polyurethane material at engineered depths beneath the slab. Depths are set from testing and expected loads.

Expand

The material expands within minutes. It compacts surrounding ground, fills voids and increases load capacity for immediate improvement.

Measure

We monitor levels continuously to control lift. This protects concrete and internal finishes during levelling.

  • Result: Stabilisation of foundations and improved floors with precise levelling where achievable.
  • Finish: Small holes are sealed neatly and we leave the site tidy.
  • Speed & compliance: Many residential jobs finish within hours and treated areas are trafficable soon after. All work is documented and council‑compliant.
Step Purpose Benefit
Keyhole drilling Access target zones under slab Minimal disruption to landscaping
Material placement Controlled depth delivery Engineered stabilisation and lift control
Monitoring & sealing Level checks and tidy finish Protects concrete, gives clear certification

Resin injection vs traditional underpinning: speed, disruption and certainty

For many properties, a targeted ground stabilisation method delivers quicker results with less disturbance than large concrete pours.

Faster outcomes and immediate trafficability of treated areas

Most residential jobs finish in one to two days. Treated surfaces are usable soon after curing, so daily life continues with minimal interruption.

Minimal disruption — no large excavations and reduced noise/dust

There is no need for deep trenches or mass concrete pours. That means less noise, less dust and fewer access constraints around the home.

Clean, tidy and non-invasive with small holes sealed on completion

The process uses small access points. We seal them neatly and leave the site tidy.

  • Fast install reduces on-site time and disturbance to family routines.
  • Immediate usability minimises impact on work and daily life.
  • No large excavations cuts noise and dust at the site.
  • Inert materials remain in place to support the structure long term.
  • We plan each job to limit risks and avoid unexpected problems.

We provide clear documentation, engineer certification and a written warranty where applicable. This gives you certainty about outcomes and compliance. Together, these factors make it a practical solution for many homeowners who prefer to stay in their property while works proceed.

FAQ

What is resin injection underpinning and how does it stabilise foundations?

Resin injection underpinning is a chemical grout technique that consolidates soil, fills voids and gently re-levels concrete slabs and footings. We drill small access holes, inject an expanding polyurethane material at controlled depths and pressures, and allow it to compact surrounding ground. This increases load-bearing capacity and halts further movement while offering a fast, minimally disruptive repair.

When is this method recommended over traditional concrete underpinning?

We recommend it when subsidence is caused by voids, soft or collapsible soils, or when access and disruption must be minimised. It suits settled slabs, suspended floors and localised foundation movement. For very deep problems, heavy structural loads or highly variable geology, engineered concrete underpinning or screw piling may be more appropriate.

What signs should prompt a foundation assessment?

Look for stepped or vertical cracks in walls, jammed doors and windows, gaps at cornices or skirtings, sloping or uneven floors, and visible sunken slabs or holes in the ground. Any sudden movement or spreading cracks warrants a prompt structural review to prevent worsening damage.

How do you assess a property before work begins?

Our process starts with a site inspection and engineering-led assessment. If you email photos, include clear images of cracks, floor slopes, skirting gaps and any exposed slab edges. Also provide property age, soil history if known and recent changes such as landscaping or drainage work.

What does the on-site resin injection process involve?

We prepare by drilling small, surgical keyholes at targeted locations. Then we inject specialised polymer at specified depths to compact soil and fill voids. As the material expands, it lifts and levels the affected areas. Finally, we seal the small holes and tidy the site, leaving treated areas trafficable quickly.

How long does the repair take and when can we use the area again?

Typical residential jobs are completed in hours to a few days depending on scale. The treated area is usually safe to walk on almost immediately and can often carry normal loads within 24 hours. We confirm timing in your quote based on site conditions and scope.

Will this fix prevent future movement?

The technique stabilises the current failure mechanism by strengthening the subgrade and filling voids. It reduces the likelihood of recurrence when combined with correct drainage and maintenance. For complex or progressive issues, we provide integrated solutions such as concrete underpinning, screw piles or drainage remediation.

Are there visible signs left after the work?

We leave only small, sealed access holes and any minor surface repairs needed. There are no large excavations or extensive disturbance. Our teams complete clean-up and cosmetic patching as part of the job to restore appearance with minimal impact.

Is the material safe for homes, gardens and services?

The expanding polymer we use is formulated for structural ground stabilisation and is inert once cured. We locate injections to avoid utilities and protect landscaping. All work follows safety standards and site-specific engineering requirements to protect occupants and assets.

How do costs and quotes work?

We provide transparent fixed-price quotes following a free, no-obligation inspection. Costs depend on the area to treat, depth required and soil conditions. Our proposals include scope, timelines, guarantees and any necessary engineering certification to satisfy council or strata requirements.

Do you offer warranties or guarantees on the work?

Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and materials with warranties tailored to the scope and method used. Your quote includes warranty details and what is covered. We also coordinate any required structural reporting and certification for long-term assurance.

Can this method be used for driveways, paths and other concrete slabs?

Absolutely. It is well suited to residential driveways, footpaths, patios and exposed concrete slabs that have settled. The non-invasive nature makes it ideal for hardscapes where minimal disruption and quick return to use matter.

How do you decide between resin injection and other foundation repairs?

We follow an engineering-first approach. After inspection and, if needed, geotechnical input, we compare options for effectiveness, cost, disruption and long-term performance. Where resin treatment is suitable, we explain benefits; where other methods are required, we provide those solutions.

What should I include when I email photos for a preliminary assessment?

Send clear, well-lit photos showing affected walls, floor joins, external slab edges and any visible gaps or sunken areas. Include a wide shot of the property, close-ups of cracks, and notes on when movement began. Adding recent site changes helps our initial review.

Are council approvals required for this work?

Many resin treatments are non-structural works that don’t require council approval. However, if the repair affects load-bearing elements or forms part of major structural work, certification or permits may be necessary. We coordinate with engineers and council where required to ensure compliance.

Do you provide combined solutions beyond resin treatment?

Yes. We offer concrete underpinning for heavy loads, screw piling where deep support is essential, wall crack stitching and subfloor ventilation improvements. We tailor a program to suit your property’s specific conditions and long-term stability needs.

How quickly can you provide a quote and schedule work?

After you contact us with photos or book an inspection, we typically deliver a detailed quote within a few business days. Scheduling depends on scope and availability, but we prioritise urgent structural concerns and aim for prompt mobilisation.
