How the Geobear ground settlement solution works for your villa

Our process is designed to remove the stress and uncertainty of structural repairs. We partner with you to diagnose the root cause—whether it's weak sand or Sabkha soil—and provide a fast, engineered solution that saves your home from extensive disruptive ground works.

1
Your property assessment

Once you get in touch, we schedule a visit with one of our technical consultants. They will conduct a thorough assessment of your villa, looking for signs of settlement like step cracks, sinking floors, or pool settlement. Crucially, we identify why it is happening—often due to water leaks or loose ground conditions.

2
A custom-engineered plan

We don't guess. Using data from the assessment (and soil tests if required), our Dubai-based engineering team designs a bespoke treatment plan. We calculate exactly where and how deep we need to inject to stabilize your specific property.

3
Transparent proposal

We walk you through our proposal in detail. We explain exactly what we will do, how long it will take (usually 1-2 days), and the cost. We focus on educating you so you can make a confident decision to protect your asset.

4
Your villa's treatment day

Our Team Leader will introduce the crew and walk you through the plan. As our technicians get to work, you can expect a process that is both respectful of your property and precisely controlled.

We minimize disruption, keep you informed of our progress, and ensure all work areas are left clean and tidy. When complete, the Team Leader will conduct a final walk-through with you to summarize the work completed.

How does it work

This is the core of our on-site work. It’s how we improve the ground beneath your home quickly, cleanly, and without major excavation.

1

Site preparation and drilling

Our professional team arrives and prepares the site. We then drill a series of small-diameter holes into the ground or floor slab in the areas that require treatment. This process is clean, fast, and non-disruptive.

Geopolymer injection

We inject our specialist geopolymer solution through the holes. The material flows as a liquid into any voids or weak zones in the soil, then expands with immense pressure to compact the ground and strengthen it from beneath.

Precise laser monitoring

We monitor the entire process in real-time using precise laser levels. This live data enables our technicians to accurately assess the injection's effect on the ground, ensuring the work is delivered exactly according to your home's bespoke engineering plan.

Rapid curing and completion

Our geopolymer material cures to 90% of its full strength within minutes, providing immediate support for your home. Once the injections are complete, our team tidies the area, leaving your property ready for immediate use.

Why this is better than the "Old Way"

In the past, fixing a sinking villa meant underpinning: digging massive holes under your foundation, pouring concrete, and waiting weeks for it to set. It meant destroyed gardens, dust everywhere, and moving your family out.

The Geobear process:

Fast

Finished in days, not weeks.

Clean

No excavation means your garden stays beautiful.

Strong

Our material is engineered to last as long as the concrete itself.

Frequently asked questions about our process

Our process is designed for minimal disruption. In almost all cases, you can stay in your villa while we work. Our equipment is compact, and because there is no excavation, there’s very little mess or noise compared to traditional methods. Our goal is to get your life back to normal as quickly as possible.

This depends on the plan for your home, but preparation is usually simple. It might involve clearing furniture away from a treatment area or ensuring access for our team.

Your Area Manager will provide you with a clear checklist of any 'enabling works' well in advance, so you know exactly what to expect.

Most residential projects are completed in just one or two days. Our process is significantly faster than traditional underpinning or piling methods that can take weeks. 

We understand your time is valuable, we work efficiently as non-invasively as possible.

Yes, our geopolymer material is environmentally neutral and stable. Once cured in the ground, it does not react with soil or water and has no negative impact on the local environment, making it a safe and responsible choice for your home.

Yes. We can stabilize sinking pool shells and re-level pool decks without draining the water or damaging the pool structure.
