- Cracks or open joints between slabs
- A patio tilting away from the house
How it works
We drill 12 to 16 mm holes in the slab and inject an expanding resin. It first fills the voids, then compacts the ground and lifts the slab under continuous laser control. After about 15 minutes the resin has 90% of its final strength.
Why not pour a new slab?
| Resin injection | Break out and re-pour | |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition | None, only small drill holes | Whole slab removed |
| Usable | After about 15 minutes | After weeks of curing |
| Ground | Compacted at the same time | Unchanged without extra work |
| Finish | Holes are sealed | New slab or paving |
When not?
For loose tiles or pavers laid on sand, relaying them is often simpler. Resin injection is meant for concrete slabs and floors that have to stay in one piece.
With serious damage, have a structural engineer assess the situation. Soiltek is a specialist contractor: we record, measure, propose a technique and carry out the repair, in consultation with your engineer.
