LEARN TO UNDERSTAND THE FLAT STRUCTURES SAGGING AND THEIR REPAIR

GeoResin’s settling and deformation correction methods, which include raising the concrete floor and leveling the bearing plane on the ground, are effective for buildings of any size, including residential buildings. They also ensure great results on driveways and roads of any purpose and importance. GeoResin contractors have successfully completed thousands of projects around the world.

What causes the sagging?

There are many different causes of sagging and various contributing factors. All of them are associated with some kind of change in the foundation soils, which in turn generates the structures’ movement. For example, drought dries out the earth, causing soils (especially clay) to shrink. Seismic or building activity due to over-dimensional vibrations often leads to soil loosening. Excavation or piling works, and including heavy machinery vibrations, can move, displace and change the soils condition. Moreover, different soils types are somewhat affected by various conditions and influences. For example, clay is particularly susceptible to shrinkage in drought conditions, gravel and stony (rocky) soils can suffer more from nearby earthworks, and high humidity affects soil flow.

Sagging can occur over large areas or local areas. This may occur over an extended period of time, or may be an immediate reaction to nearby activity or natural phenomena. When the ground structure has been disturbed, building subsidence is common. Foundations or bearing structures are no longer thoroughly supported, sinking due to the weakness of the base soil.

WHAT DOES A BASE PROBLEM LOOK LIKE?

If you have a sagging or sloping floor, then you need to re-level the structures. The procedure for the project implementation at the first stage requires a visit to the facility, an examination to determine the deformations causes. Our experienced engineers and technicians will then decide on the necessary approach, creating a solution project specific to your house (or property) requirements.

As the building and its sagging floors return to the designed position, any internal and external cracks in the walls (joining elements) are usually closed. Our solutions for raising and repairing concrete floors are an innovative and modern reply to traditional methods, resulting in demolition and additional headache.

If you have reached this section, you care about the future of your property. By getting help from qualified professionals in good time, you will save a lot of time and money.

The first step in preserving a building that is prone to collapse is to have the building surveyed by professionals. This will help you avoid making rash or poorly-planned decisions as to what to do in order to stop the process

GeoResin specialists will come on site and determine the type of foundation deformation and find out the reasons for it. Depending on the data they will make the necessary calculations and determine what actions to take to halt the building destruction and what is the best method of foundation stabilization.

Based on the received information, you can make a balanced decision on which of the three directions to take:

  • 01 Continue to monitor the dynamics of destruction with the help of professional instruments, defining yourself a «point of no return».
  • 02 Develop a draft solution, taking into account structural, financial and «life» constraints, and implement it.
  • 03 Apply for an alternative solution on the basis of the survey to a third party.

THE CONCRETE SURFACE SAGGING OR IRREGULARITIES FORMATION CAN BE CAUSED BY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:

  • Not properly rammed base
  • Additional new loads on structures
  • Technogenic breakdowns and accidents of engineering communications
  • Excavation or piling works nearby
  • Regular fluctuations in the groundwater level and soil temperature
  • Regular exposure to vibrations
  • Organic processes in base soils

QUESTIONS THAT GEORESIN WILL ANSWER:

  • What is going on with the house or structure in general?
  • What caused the cracks or deformations in the structure?
  • Is there any point in waiting for improvements or changes and what kind of changes?
  • Can we get by with face-lift?
  • What will happen if nothing is done?
  • Will «store-bought» or «do-it-yourself» solutions help?
  • Can a «familiar foreman» solve the problem?
  • Is it possible, and how, to slow down or stop the process of destruction?
  • Is it possible to get everything back as before? what are the options?
  • When is it better and cheaper to start solving the problem? is it possible not to resolve it right away?
  • How much does it cost to solve the problem and what are the conditions for implementation?
  • What can be done for x hryvnias?
