Structure re-levelling
Why is the re-levelling of structures required?
Uneven buildings are the result of weak ground that causes subsidence – the gradual downward movement of a building or structure due to changes in soil conditions.
There are many different causes of subsidence, including
Extreme weather conditions that cause the moisture content in the soil to contract or expand
Nearby excavations that cause the ground to vibrate
Poorly compacted soil during the construction of the building
Incomplete or inadequate foundations or footings
Subsidence can happen over large areas of land or in one small area. It can occur over a lengthy period or be an immediate reaction to nearby activity or natural events such as earthquakes or flooding.
When the ground has been affected by subsidence, building foundations are no longer correctly supported, resulting in unexpected structural damage, such as sinking floors and cracks in the building walls, which can all seriously impact the operations and safety of the building.
When is structure re-levelling needed?
The sinking of the ground can result in a building or structure also sinking. The structure being out of level can put stress on and compromise structural members, resulting in serious structural and interior damage.
Here are some of the conditions that can cause subsidence and unlevelled structure:
Increased groundwater content
Drought drying out the soil
Washaways from broken pipes
Poorly compacted fill
Liquid, gas or mineral resources being removed from the ground
Adjacent excavation
Heavy loading
Deterioration of retaining walls
Earthquakes and seismic activity
Tree roots removing moisture from the ground
Vibrations caused by heavy road traffic or machinery
Absence of an organised footing system – in very old buildings or buildings with additions or alterations
The best way to fix sinking concrete floors or slabs is to raise and re-level the foundations to re-support the building or structure. Traditionally, underpinning, piling and mechanical jacking were used, but these methods are time-consuming and messy, involving excavating or digging up parts of the foundation.
Modern level correction methods such as resin injection and computer-controlled grouting provide a quicker and more cost-effective way to lift and re-level an existing building or structure.
Structure re-levelling with minimal disruption
Mainmark’s structure re-levelling and level correction technologies are time-efficient, cost-effective and reliable alternatives to traditional methods such as piling or underpinning.
Our techniques minimise disruption; we offer flexible scheduling and our methods can be used on sites with restricted access.
Because of the non-invasive nature of our re-levelling technologies, it’s not necessary for building occupants to vacate the property and building contents, including plant and machinery, can remain in place.
Treated roads, driveways, pathways, concrete slabs and other infrastructure are trafficable immediately.
Underpinning Resources and Methods

Slab lifting
Sunken or unlevel slabs and hardstand surfaces in warehouses or logistics environments can be a sign of foundation ground subsidence. Mainmark’s slab lifting techniques are non-invasive, quick and cost-effective.
