Subsidence Repair: Resin Injection v Underpinning
Have you been looking for underpinning cost quotes for subsidence issues? Are you worried about the costs of underpinning? Have you thought about an eco-friendly and faster alternative such as resin injection. Resin injection is a non-invasive and cost-effective method that can be used to strengthen the ground beneath a foundation, preventing further subsidence. Resin injection costs can often be cheaper than underpinning.
What is resin injection?
Resin injection was first introduced in the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. It was initially used to repair subsidence caused by clay shrinkage, but it has since been used to repair subsidence caused by a variety of other factors, including tree root damage, leaking pipes, mining activity, and ground instability.
Why resin injection instead of underpinning?
Traditional underpinning is a highly invasive procedure. It involves extensive excavation around the property’s foundations, which can be disruptive to the occupants. This process can take weeks or even months, during which time the property may be partially inaccessible.
In contrast, resin injection is far less invasive, requiring only small holes to be drilled for the injection process, resulting in minimal disruption to the property and its occupants.
As the resin gets to work in just fifteen minutes, resin injections are a far faster and less invasive choice, quickly making this a favourable option for homeowners nationwide. Plus, we ensure a mess-free approach that doesn’t require you to vacate the property.
Eco friendly option
In terms of the resin formula itself, the environmental benefits surpass any other product on the market. Other methods, including underpinning, result in vast carbon emissions, but our expanding resin injections are made with the planet in mind. We’ll not only lessen our carbon footprint but you’ll be given peace of mind that the resin is made of entirely natural materials, giving it a non-toxic nature.
Resin injection cheaper than underpinning
Last but certainly not least, the subsidence resin injection cost is not only affordable but it’s worth it. You’ll be met with a reliable solution that’ll last for years to come and one that doesn’t require maintenance or extreme renovations post-treatment.
How long do resin injections last?
The short answer: Years. It depends on the severity of subsidence, but resin injection can last for decades.

How our resin injection process works
Step 1: Drilling small holes – before injecting our resin formula into the foundations, we drill tiny holes into the problem areas, ensuring maximum precision and minimal aesthetic disturbance.
Step 2: Injecting material – Secondly, we inject our formula using state-of-the-art equipment and an abundance of skill. Our outstanding resin formula is made up of eco-friendly materials designed to reintroduce stability and robustness to a structure with immediate effect.
Step 3: Rapid hardening – The material hardens in seconds, providing reliable support similar to concrete. Once solidified, it has the power to fully lift your property. And post-treatment, its resilience is impressive, making this a fantastic long-term solution.
