Subsidence Solutions

dimerocks

Hey, we're having a bit of subsidence trouble in our house and were wondering what the possible solutions were. My dad knows about underpinning but has heard of a treatment involving foam injected in under the foundations to raise them or somehing like this. Has anybody got any ideas about this?? At a complete loss through google.
I just found the company so there is no problem with that but if anyone knows how effective this is I'd really appreaciate it.

I've worked with this before and it can be very effective (providing it is done right).

Where is the house located and are you sure its subsidence? If heard of beam or similar breaking and people thinking it was subsidence.

Do Uretek work in Ireland? Cant remember the company I delt with?

Does your house insurance not cover you for subsidence or has it been assessed as settlement? Piling and underpinning are common methods but very invasive. Get an local engineer to advise you - not very $$$

nah still being sorted. It is definietely structural subsidence alright. The engineeer has suggested the foam thing but admits he has never done it. I dunno if Uretek work over here. Who does it over here.
