The problem leaking in

Uncontrolled water ingress is a serious threat to commercial structures, leading to flooding, asset damage, and destabilised ground. We solve this by creating waterproof barriers within the soil itself, preventing water from reaching your foundations, basements, or retaining walls, without disruptive excavation.

The problem of water and permeable ground

Water will always find the path of least resistance. When the soil adjacent to your structure is highly permeable (like sand or gravel) or contains voids, it creates a direct channel for water, leading to significant structural and operational problems.

What are the signs of water ingress and soil permeability?

Dampness, mould, or water leaks in basements, lift pits, or tunnels

Pooling water on floor slabs or against retaining walls

Visible soil erosion or "washout" near foundations or drains

Ground settlement or voids appearing after heavy rain or flooding

Water leaking through piling at construction sites

What are the technical causes?

High hydrostatic pressure

The weight of saturated ground pushes water through any crack, joint, or porous section of a concrete structure.

Permeable soil layers

Strata of sand, gravel, or poorly compacted fill act as a "superhighway" for groundwater, directing it straight to your structure.

Failed joints & penetrations

Water exploits weak points like construction joints, pipe penetrations, and minor cracks.

Erosion & washout

Flowing water carries away fine soil particles, creating voids (see our void filling page) and destabilising the ground, which makes the leak worse.

Our solution

Creating an engineered cutoff barrier

Our treatment is not a temporary patch. We address the problem from the outside, within the soil itself.

Injection: We inject our specialist hydro-insensitive geopolymer resin into the soil directly adjacent to the leaking structure. This is done from the surface or internally, requiring no excavation.

Expansion & permeation: The resin is designed to be injected into saturated ground. It displaces the water and expands, permeating the soil matrix.

Barrier formation: The geopolymer binds the loose soil particles and fills voids, transforming the permeable ground into a solid, waterproof, and permanent barrier. This "curtain wall" stops water from ever reaching your structure, relieving hydrostatic pressure and preventing further soil erosion.

Frequently asked questions about resin water sealing

Traditional methods often require massive, costly excavation to apply a new external membrane. Internal sealants only patch the leak, they don't stop the external water pressure. Our solution is unique because we create a new waterproof barrier in the ground without excavation, addressing the root cause.

Yes. We use specialist hydro-insensitive resins that are designed to be injected directly into saturated ground and flowing water. The resin chemically reacts and expands, displacing the water and curing to form a permanent seal.

Absolutely. This is a primary co-benefit. By binding the soil particles together, our process not only blocks water but also significantly increases the strength and stability of the soil, helping to prevent future erosion and settlement.

Yes. Once cured (which happens very quickly), our materials are inert, non-polluting, and have no-leach properties. They do not release any harmful substances into the ground or water table.

We inject the ground on the other side of the wall. By creating a waterproof barrier in the soil, we stop water from ever reaching the wall in the first place. This is a far more robust solution than simply injecting the crack in the wall.
