Hans van Bussel
When the extension to Hans van Bussel’s corner house turned out to have subsided, he searched Google for a solution. He soon came across URETEK, who resolved the problem using the URETEK DeepInjection® method.
The culprit was a kink in the underground pipework, which had caused a pipe to leak and washed away sand from beneath the foundation slab. This had caused one corner of the extension to subside. Hans van Bussel rang URETEK for advice and explains: “Technical adviser Robbert Melis came to take a look and concluded that the problem was fairly straightforward to resolve.”
Friendly professionals
The underground cavity that had formed was filled in by URETEK within half a day. The result: a solid sub-base for the foundation slab. Hans van Bussel: “The work was carried out by friendly professionals who clearly explained what they were going to do, worked meticulously and left the site tidy afterwards. It was a very positive experience.”
Result
“The result is exactly what I’d hoped for and expected. Of course, you can’t see what it looks like underground now, but I’m confident that everything is now sturdy enough. The extension has been raised by about one centimetre and is standing nice and straight again. Absolutely perfect!”
