Home Foundation Settlement
Home foundation settlement is often caused by weak or poorly compacted soil beneath the building. Water infiltration, changing soil moisture and long-term structural loads can further reduce ground stability and cause uneven foundation movement.

02
Diagonal or stair-step cracks in walls
03
Sinking or uneven floors
04
Sticking doors and windows
05
Gaps around doors and window frames
06
Separation between walls, ceilings or floors

Our approach
How Hengxiang Hongye Performs Remediation
Through our non-destructive and controllable patented technology, the weak soil layer of the holding layer is consolidated as a whole, and the consolidated and reinforced foundation soil forms a composite foundation, whose bearing capacity value can reach nearly three times of the original bearing capacity, and well support the upper load.
- 01Drilling
Bore holes in the affected area with a diameter of 6–10 mm.
- 02Injection
Inject a specialized inorganic material.
- 03Solidification
The material rapidly solidifies with soil, filling voids and stabilizing the ground.
- 04Re-balancing
Lift and reinforce the foundation until re-leveling is achieved.
