Elimination of causes of uneven settlement and restoration of buildings and structures
The cause of the dip is eliminated, not just its consequences
This can be extremely concerning for homeowners or building owners facing the serious consequences of soil settlement or ground subsidence.
Traditional signs of a building affected by soil settlement can range from minor, non-threatening cracks in walls and uneven concrete driveways to more disruptive issues, such as misaligned doors and windows that no longer close properly, or gaps forming between walls and adjacent structures (floors, ceilings).
Many homeowners worry about the potential damage to their house and property, which could become severe enough to require partial demolition or major structural repairs. However, many do not realize that, no matter how serious the visible damage appears, the root cause is often unstable or weak foundation soil beneath the home.
The unique “two-in-one” solution: Uretek addresses the future of homes affected by soil settlement by strengthening the foundation beneath the house while simultaneously lifting and realigning the structure back to its original level. This process results in wall cracks closing, doors and windows functioning properly again, and floors and baseboards aligning. Perhaps the most valuable outcome for homeowners is the peace of mind knowing that the soil beneath their investment is solid and unlikely to shift again.
Recent Uretek projects across Russia demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach:
These cases illustrate how soil settlement can impact a home’s structural integrity in different ways. Common causes of weakened foundations, which may trigger foundation and wall problems, include:

Recent Uretek projects across Russia demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach:
- A home in Tver faced potential demolition of an extension due to soil settlement caused by a leaking drainage pipe. Uretek successfully reinforced the foundation and soil, preventing future subsidence.
- In Kaluga, a homeowner was concerned about severe cracks and uneven floors that could not be repaired due to an underfloor heating system. Uretek’s non-invasive method allowed the home to be corrected without significant damage to the flooring.
- A home in Ufa had large cracks running floor-to-ceiling along multiple walls at the rear of the house, preventing doors and windows from closing. Uretek successfully lifted and restored the rooms, closing the cracks.
- A house built on a steep slope in Saratov suffered from poor foundation soil bearing capacity, as it was constructed over an old landfill. Uretek strengthened the soil beneath the foundation, mitigating the risk of further settlement.
These cases illustrate how soil settlement can impact a home’s structural integrity in different ways. Common causes of weakened foundations, which may trigger foundation and wall problems, include:
- Leaking pipes
- Inadequate drainage capacity
- Heavy rain or prolonged frost
- Nearby construction or heavy traffic
- Tree roots and groundwater
- Aging and wear of building materials

Start with a minimally required inspection of your building at a reasonable cost to avoid risks and make an informed decision. By obtaining a clear picture of the scale of the problem, you will be able to decide on the next steps. You have three options:
Carefully monitor the progression of damage using professional tools, identifying the “point of no return”
Develop a solution plan taking into account structural, financial, and practical constraints, and implement it
Seek alternative solutions from third parties based on the conducted inspection
Risks caused by foundation deformation and damage:
Damage to communications that are laid under or near load-bearing structures;
Damage to the building's internal communications;
Damage to load-bearing walls, partitions, and ceilings;
Повреждение систем водоотведения;
Damage to the pavement and external buildings;
Shortening the life of the building;
Pre-emergency condition and the need for unscheduled major repairs;
Inconvenience of building operation and life-threatening conditions;
Heat loss and mold are caused by damaged waterproofing.
