Pressure Grouting in Atlanta, GA

How Hidden Voids Form Under Foundations and Slabs

Voids often develop slowly and invisibly. Water flowing through or under the soil can wash fine particles away, leaving pockets of air. Poor backfill, decomposed organic material, or previous excavations also contribute. Structures above may not show dramatic cracks immediately, but the lack of solid contact with the soil becomes a ticking time bomb for settlement.

Different Grouting Approaches for Different Problems

Pressure grouting isn’t one material for every situation; there are variations:

Cementitious Grouts

Used to fill larger voids, they provide a hard, rock-like mass once cured.

Chemical or Resin Grouts

Ideal for fine cracks in soil or where you need expansive or quickly setting materials.

Compaction Grouting

Dense grout is injected at discrete points to push and densify loose soil rather than just fill voids.

What Results You Can Expect From Pressure Grouting

The outcomes are typically:

  • Firmer, denser soil beneath footings or slabs.

  • Reduced future settlement in treated areas.

  • Better support for additional measures like slab lifting or piering.

  • Stabilization of washout-prone zones such as around utilities or old trenches.
