Many times Owners desire foundation stabilization versus raising for a number of reasons. Often exquisite, turn of the century structures and modern homes have undergone extensive and expensive remodeling and Owners wish to avoid disrupting a present elevation and avoid cracking. In these instances soil grouting can be a method that provides substantial cost savings with minimal disruption.
Slurry Grouting is a process used to correct the causes for foundation settlement, which are a soils inability to sustain the load bearing capacity of a particular structure. These weak unstable soils are stabilized by the injection of a viscous, cement based grout into soft areas, fissures or portings in the soil. Slurry grouting densifies weak soils, fills voids, drives out perched water and places a non-compressible cement grout beneath the structures footings. Grouting stabilizes foundations while increasing the long term bearing capabilities without excavation.
Small diameter injection pipes are inserted to the bottom of the zone to be stabilized or to a depth of refusal below the foundation to be stabilized. Pipes are driven into place then retracted a few inches to open the end of the injection pipe allowing the grout to be injected.
Foundations are designed to be uniformly supported by soil. Cement grouting allows a structure’s footings to maintain contact with the soil during and after the densification procedure and allowed to function as the structure was intended.
