This is done by drilling small holes into the sinking concrete and then specially designed equipment is used to inject structural grade polymers into the void.

The homeowners of this house noticed a crack in their foundation from the outside while they were planning to sell their home. Inside their home they had a finished basement with drywall on the walls. They had never noticed the crack inside their home before but after the inspection a large crack extending from the top of the foundation to the footer was revealed. Further inspection revealed that the side walk to the front door had settling as well. A crack of this nature is typically caused by water intrusion and slab settling. Foundation are typically made of 3 parts. The footer, the floor and the wall. When there is water seepage and settling of the soil outside can cause the home and foundation to move. This is why you might see cracks inside your home or doors and windows that are hard to open and close. When you notice a crack it is important to get it repaired, the longer you wait the bigger the problem is going to be. Hiding the problem by patching over drywall cracks or tuck-pointing in bike or place are only band-aid fixes. There real problem still exists and hasn’t been solved. The cracks will re-apprear, more repairs will be made, and soon you will have a patch over a patch over a patch. For this homeowner the fix was to install 6 push piers in the basement to put the house back into its original position. Push piers are made if steel and are driven deep into the soil to defrock or another stable soil layer. Push piers can ofter close cracks and improve the operation of doors and windows. This is a solution that will solve the problem once and for all and involves minimal disturbance from installation.
