CASE STUDY

Sinking Apartment Footing Stabilization

Phoenix, AZ Commercial Stabilization & Lifting

A Phoenix apartment unit was developing half-inch wall cracks from foundation settlement. Soil testing traced the cause several feet below the footing, where weak, uncompacted soil was giving way. We targeted those deep layers with polymer injection and stabilized the foundation permanently.

THE PROBLEM

Half-Inch Wall Cracks from Weak Soil Below the Footing

Serious foundation problems were showing up as half-inch-wide cracks along the walls at both the front and back of the affected units. Soil testing traced the cause below ground, where several feet of weak, uncompacted soil beneath the footing were giving way under the weight of the building.

THE SOLUTION

Deep Polymer Injection Compacted the Soil and Stabilized the Footing

Stratalock designed a plan to reach the weak soil layers at depth. Injection tubes were installed and our specially formulated geotechnical polymer was injected through them, filling subterranean voids and compacting the soil beneath the footing. The result was a dramatic increase in load-bearing capacity that stabilized the foundation and protects against any future movement of the building.
