When a house cracks: how URETEK restored the foundation without excavation
Problem
Deformations of walls and foundations
Solution
Strengthening the foundation and stabilizing the foundation
In spring 2024, a homeowner from the Yaroslavl region contacted URETEK Russia. The house looked reliable: a two‑story building constructed in 2015 to modern standards, with a strip foundation and walls made of gas silicate brick. However, just one year after purchase, the owner noticed cracks — first on the walls and floor, then on the foundation itself. The defects progressed, creating not only visual but also structural problems. A preliminary inspection showed that cosmetic repairs carried out by the previous owners only concealed internal defects. Behind the neat appearance lay structural fatigue. The situation required not patching consequences but deep engineering intervention.
Problem
URETEK specialists began with a full engineering audit. A qualified engineer visited the site, studied the technical documentation, and analysed the foundation condition. The inspection results indicated the need for a detailed check of the soil beneath the house. It was decided to perform a comprehensive soil investigation using modern diagnostic methods. This approach made it possible to accurately determine where the foundation itself was losing strength and why the load was distributed unevenly. To precisely understand the picture, the team carried out dynamic probing of the soils around the perimeter of the building. The investigation revealed a multilayered foundation with zones of weak soils incapable of supporting the load. These zones were precisely the cause of the deformations — the foundation began to settle, and the house was losing stability. The conclusion was unequivocal: delay would accelerate the destruction of load‑bearing and enclosing structures. Immediate foundation strengthening was required to stabilise the building without extensive repairs.
The project in detail
URETEK engineers developed a foundation restoration project using deep injection technology. This innovative method allows strengthening the soil and increasing its bearing capacity without excavation or demolition works. The essence of the method is the controlled‑pressure injection of a specialised composition beneath the foundation. The material fills voids, compacts the soil, and creates a new, stronger support. The result is achieved quickly, cleanly, and with millimetre precision.
Solution
The URETEK project and production team proceeded to stabilise the foundation. The work was carried out in a targeted manner — only in the zones where weak layers had been identified. In just two working days, the causes of settlement were completely eliminated. The main advantage of the method became evident in practice: the residents did not have to leave the house, move furniture, or remove belongings.

The process was quiet, dust‑free, and required no heavy machinery. For the client, this meant one thing — comfort and confidence that the problem had been solved professionally.After the work was completed, URETEK specialists carried out a final inspection confirming full foundation stabilisation. The client received detailed recommendations for further operation and prevention of possible deformations. A warranty was provided for the performed work — confirmation of the reliability and engineering quality of the solution. Today, the house stands firmly. The stabilised foundation has returned stability to the building and peace of mind to the owner.
