Garage stabilisation & subsidence repair

Challenge

Settlement beneath a domestic garage caused cracking and loss of support, requiring stabilisation without demolition, underpinning or prolonged disruption to the homeowner.

Solution

Geobear delivered precision geopolymer injection to strengthen underlying soils, re‑establish support and arrest further movement with minimal disturbance and rapid return to use.

Domestic property environment

Minimal disruption to homeowner

In situ ground improvement

No excavation or underpinning

Rapid curing material

Garage usable shortly after works

Background

Ground movement beneath the garage structure had resulted in cracking and localised settlement. Reduced bearing capacity within the underlying soils threatened continued structural performance.

A solution was required that would restore stability efficiently while avoiding intrusive construction works.

Challenge

Traditional underpinning would have required excavation, extended programme time and significant disturbance to the property.

The client required a faster, lower‑impact alternative capable of strengthening the ground from within and limiting disruption to daily life.

Solution

Geobear implemented a controlled geopolymer injection programme to improve ground stiffness and bearing capacity beneath the garage slab and foundations.

Small‑diameter injection points were installed to introduce a two‑component geopolymer into the affected soils. Upon mixing, the material expanded to fill voids, densify loose ground and re‑establish uniform support.

Injection was monitored to ensure precise ground improvement and structural protection.

Results

Ground stability was restored without demolition or underpinning.

The works were completed quickly and cleanly, providing a durable, lower‑carbon solution that protected the structure and reduced long‑term maintenance risk.
