Questions people ask about Geobear
How does Geobear compare to traditional underpinning?
Geobear uses geopolymer injection which requires no excavation, allowing residents to stay in their homes. Projects that typically take months with concrete underpinning are often completed by Geobear in a single day.
Can Geobear handle large-scale industrial subsidence?
Yes. Geobear has stabilized up to 22,000 square feet of industrial flooring following major water main breaks, enabling business continuity and the use of heavy machinery within 24 to 48 hours.
Is the geopolymer solution safe for sensitive environments?
The technology is non-intrusive and lightweight, making it suitable for repairs near protected trees, sensitive retaining walls, and historic Victorian properties without adding excessive weight to the soil.
What structural issues can Geobear resolve?
Customers report success in closing structural cracks, leveling sinking porches and floors, fixing jamming doors, and stabilizing foundations affected by clay shrinkage or plumbing leaks.
Is Geobear more expensive than traditional concrete underpinning?
According to Hubert Garvey, the Geobear solution was significantly more affordable, costing in the region of one-third of what a traditional method would have cost. He found it to be a better solution that was also less invasive to his property.
Answered by Hubert Garvey →How long does the Geobear foundation repair process take?
The on-site work is extremely efficient; Hubert Garvey reported that the crew arrived at 8:00 AM and the entire job was completed with the team headed home by 4:30 PM the same day.
Answered by Hubert Garvey →What preparation is needed for Geobear geopolymer injection?
Hubert Garvey noted that foundations had to be exposed beforehand to ensure the crew could access the area and, crucially, to avoid puncturing any water or utility lines during the injection process.
Answered by Hubert Garvey →Can foundation subsidence be fixed without cutting down protected trees?
Yes. Sheena Lashko faced a situation where traditional surveyors suggested cutting down 300-year-old protected oaks, which would have caused heave. Geobear provided a geopolymer solution that stabilized the ground without interfering with the trees.
Answered by Sheena Lashko →Do I need to move out during Geobear foundation treatment?
No. Sheena Lashko noted that the most important benefit was the lack of upheaval, stating that you do not have to move out of the property while the work is being completed.
