Frequently asked
- 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. — 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. — Sheena Lashko
- How long does the Geobear injection process take?
- According to Sheena Lashko, the actual treatment from Geobear was very quick and was completed within one week. — Sheena Lashko
- How disruptive is Geobear foundation repair compared to traditional methods?
- Al-Karim Makhani noted that the prep work was significantly less than what would have been required for structural foundation work. He described the upheaval as minimal compared to the disclosures and time required for traditional foundation excavation. — Al-Karim Makhani
- Is Geobear faster than traditional underpinning?
- Yes, Al-Karim's surveyor recommended Geobear specifically because it would be faster and less disruptive. The team was able to fit the appointment in quickly and the results were visible almost immediately after the injections. — Al-Karim Makhani
- Will Geobear injections fix a door that won't close due to subsidence?
- In Al-Karim's case, the impact was immediate. He reported that his front door closed naturally right after the work, which it had not done for many months prior to the Geobear treatment. — Al-Karim Makhani
