Sinkholes are caused when water dissolves bedrock, leading to the formation of cavities
underneath the
ground. As loose rocks sink beneath the ground, the surface layer can no longer support itself. This leads
to the formation of a sinkhole. Sinkholes are unpredictable and extremely dangerous.
Despite being unpredictable, there are some early warning signs to look out for. Get in touch with the team
at Resin Injection Technology if you notice any of the following issues at your property:
• Cracks in the walls
• Stair step cracks in the brickwork
• Cracks that are getting wider
• Tilting trees or posts
• Uneven floors
• Bodies of water such as ponds drying away
• Dying vegetation in a specific area
It is often the case that these issues are being caused by less severe subsidence or other natural
occurrences, however it is important that it is investigated quickly.
Sinkhole Subsidence & Prevention
Sinkholes are becoming a common problem across the UK due to changes in ground conditions. The danger and
unpredictability of sinkholes can be extremely concerning to homeowners, especially for those who own
property in areas at high risk.

What are Sinkholes
Sinkhole prevention
The main prevention for sinkholes is strengthening the ground before a sinkhole has a chance to occur. Resin Injection Technology
uses resin injection as a preventative measure. By binding our resin material with the soil
in the affected area, we increase the load bearing capacity of the foundations of the property. This leads
to the prevention of sinkholes and in many cases, the property will be lifted back into its original state.
When a sinkhole has already occurred, Resin Injection Technology are on hand to support. Our team of experts specialise in void filling, and by using our resin injection solution, we are
able to
prevent further formations, and fix the void caused by the sinkhole.
