Every home settles for a different reason. GEOLIFT provides residential foundation repair, floor lifting and soil stabilisation using controlled geopolymer injection. We identify the cause of settlement and restore support beneath floors and foundations without invasive construction.
How foundation settlement shows itself
Foundation settlement often develops gradually and is not always immediately obvious. Homeowners usually notice the problem through visible or functional changes inside the building before they understand what is happening beneath it.
- Cracks in interior or exterior walls
- Sloping or uneven floors
- Doors or windows that stick or no longer close properly
- Gaps between walls, floors or ceilings
- Cracking in tiles, floor surfaces or foundations
Underlying causes of foundation settlement
- Inadequate original soil preparation
- Variable or weak bearing layers beneath the foundation
- Changes in moisture content causing soil shrinkage or softening
- Differential settlement between different parts of the building
If left unaddressed, these conditions can lead to structural stress, cracking and long-term damage to the building.
Typical causes of floor settlement
While foundation settlement affects the building as a whole, floor settlement is often caused by local ground conditions beneath the floor.
- Poorly compacted fill beneath the floor
- Weak soil layers such as peat, mud, silt or loose sand
- Erosion or washout caused by groundwater movement or leaking utilities
- Long-term soil consolidation under constant load
These conditions can lead to uneven floors, cracked tiles, sticking doors and visible gaps between walls and floors.
GEOLIFT solution
Survey and diagnosis
- Floor levels, cracking patterns and soil conditions are analysed to identify the cause of settlement.
Engineered solution
- Injection layout, depths and material properties are defined for the specific building and ground conditions.
Precision injection
- Expanding geopolymer is injected through small access holes to fill voids, densify weak soil and improve bearing capacity.
Controlled lifting where required
- Where appropriate, sunken floor areas can be re-levelled with millimetre-level accuracy while movement is monitored in real time.
Key benefits for homeowners
- No major excavation or demolition
- Minimal disruption to daily life
- Fast installation, often completed in one day
- Immediate load-bearing performance after curing
- Long-term soil improvement, not only surface repair
