Urathane Solutions’ Underpinning Melbourne specialists use unique patented keyhole solution which allows us to displace unwanted, water reactive soil with a lightweight, high load capacity material, without the need for digging or earth moving equipment.
We create solid foundations to stabilise your structure or surface from the ground up, and we’re often called in to stabilise failed or half-finished repairs by others.
Don’t use traditional underpinning when it can be costly, messy and cause disruption.
Chemical Underpinning is the preferred choice as we use non-invasive, patented geo-polyurethane resin injection technology.

Hear from some happy customers:
“I recently used Urathane Solutions for two jobs at home. They got the nod over there opposition because Mark took the time to explain what happens with reactive soil and water over time during the initial phone call. During the quote he explained how their process works and answered all questions I had. On the day they were very professional and took their time to ensure we got a good result and cleaned up all their mess which most builders don’t I will have no hesitation calling them again if i need this sort of work done.”
– Neil, Gawler East
“Ian and I are absolutely delighted by the outcomes achieved by Mark. He’s done an amazing job, and it’s been a pleasure getting to know him a little while he’s been working at our place. Mark’s a true professional, and quite possibly the most genuine tradesperson I’ve ever encountered.”
– Meagan, Turramurra
“Both Kathy and I are extremely happy with the great success and excellent results that Mark, Luke and Otto have achieved in rectifying the storm water damaged concrete slab under our kitchen and laundry and we were very impressed with the teams attention to detail and methodical approach that they utilised in restoring our property to its former condition. The team was punctual, courteous, neat and tidy and meticulous in cleaning up the worksite on completion of the work, and we particularly appreciated each team members willingness to explain patiently the different steps that they employed in the restorative process. Genuinely nice blokes too! Gentlemen! Dealing with Urathane Solutions was an excellent experience! Highly recommended!”

Why Melbourne homes move
Large parts of Melbourne, particularly the western and northern suburbs, sit on reactive clays that swell when wet and shrink when dry. Add a leaking stormwater pipe, a long dry summer or a large tree close to the house, and footings settle unevenly. The common signs are stepped cracks in brick veneer, gaps above doors, cracked tiles and sloping floors. Read about the first signs of subsidence in Melbourne.
Our Melbourne underpinning process
- Free inspection and diagnosis. We find the cause, whether it's soil, water or a failed earlier repair.
- Fix the water first. Where water is driving the movement, we'll recommend the drainage or plumbing fixes to make.
- Keyhole resin injection. Rods are placed beneath your footings and resin is injected to fill voids and densify the soil. See how resin injection underpinning works.
- Laser-controlled re-levelling. The lift is monitored in real time to bring floors back as close to level as possible.
- 10-year guarantee. In the rare event a repair is needed, we return and make good at no cost.
