• Foundation problems are caused when soils under foundations either swell up or shrink as they absorb or loss water.
• Chemical injection is a process that is designed to reduce or eliminate the ability of the soil to shrink or swell as the water content changes.
• Many times when chemicals are used, they are environmentally friendly.
• This is what the equipment for a typical chemical injection job looks like.
• You have a truck with two tanks containing the chemicals pumps hoses and reels on the truck and then the injection wand and the hoses coming off.
• This is what a typical injection process looks like.
• Men use the high pressured liquid in the wand to drive it down into the ground through hard patches.
• We injection approximately a half a gallon to a gallon of liquid for every cubic foot of soil that we are treating.
• One technician monitors the process son a gauge to keep track of the volumes being injected while the other drives the wand the wand down into the ground.
• Once the chemical liquid has been injected into the ground the tops of the holes are sealed with polyurethane foam to hold the liquids in.
• After the first round of injections we wait one or two days to allow the chemicals to soak into the soil and then come back to do a second round of injections.
• The typical injection process takes two working days to complete and when it is finished you can’t even tell that we were there.
