Ground Improvement & Soil Stabilization

Don't replace the soil. Fix it where it failed.

When the soil under a slab, driveway, garage floor, or foundation washes out, compacts, or develops voids, the concrete above starts to settle, crack, or sink. The traditional fix is rip-and-replace. The modern fix is to inject chemical grout directly into the soil, filling voids, compacting loose material, and rebuilding bearing capacity from below, with no demolition. We perform ground improvement using HMI Soil Link products, the industry-leading polyurethane and acrylate grout systems we're trained on directly through HMI's certified Ground Improvement and Concrete Raising seminars.

Warning signs

Here's what to look for.

Catch any of these early and you'll save thousands. Ignore them and the problem compounds, fast.

Sunken or uneven concrete on driveways, sidewalks, garage floors, or pool decks
Hollow sounds or visible voids under slabs
Settling along the foundation perimeter or around stoops and porches
Sinkholes or soft spots opening in the yard
Tripping hazards from concrete that's lifted or dropped unevenly
Visible erosion near downspouts, gutters, or grade transitions
Soil washing out after heavy rain or a pipe leak
Root causes

Why this is happening.

Understanding the cause is half the repair. Symptoms come back when root causes aren't addressed.

01

Water Erosion

Leaks, runoff, or hydrostatic flow carry away soil particles, leaving voids beneath slabs and foundations.

02

Loose or Soft Soil

Native soil with poor compaction or organic content can't carry the load above; settlement follows over time.

03

Hydrostatic Uplift

Rising groundwater pushes upward against slabs, cracking and lifting them unevenly.

04

Soil Piping

Subsurface water flow erodes channels through the soil, carrying material away and creating progressive voids.

05

Differential Settlement

Adjacent sections of soil compact at different rates, stressing the slab between them and causing cracks.

Our methods

How we fix it, right.

We match the method to the damage, not the other way around. No one-size-fits-all.

Method 01

HF402 High-Density Polyurethane (lift)

Aggressively expanding rigid foam, used to fill voids, compact soil, and lift settled slabs back to grade by building pressure underneath.

Method 02

HS010 / HS020 LV Permeation Grouting

Lower-pressure semi-flexible foams that permeate into porous soils, locking loose particles together without lifting, ideal for soils with known dynamic shifting.

Method 03

Acrylate Grout (non-expansive)

Liquid that solidifies into an inert gel with little to no expansion, used near seawalls, retaining walls, and other sensitive structures where expansion pressure would do more harm than good.

Method 04

DCP Soil Testing & Verification

Dynamic cone penetrometer testing before and after, so we measure actual soil-strength improvement instead of guessing whether the injection worked.

Method 05

Custom Multi-Material Programs

Most ground improvement projects combine two or more grout types, addressing different soil layers and failure modes within the same job.

Who we work with

Every building type.

From a single-family hairline crack to municipal-scale structural work.

Residential

Sunken driveways, garage slabs, patios, sidewalks, and pool decks raised back to level. Sinkhole repair and crawl-space soil stabilization for homes.

Commercial

Warehouse floors, loading docks, and storefront slabs lifted and re-stabilized with minimal downtime, no demolition, no new pour, no operational shutdown.

Municipal & Public Works

Sidewalk leveling, manhole stabilization, sinkhole repair, and roadway sub-base improvement across municipal infrastructure.

Pools & Specialty Structures

Soil grouting around pool shells and beneath pool decks. Seawall and retaining-wall stabilization using non-expansive acrylate grout.

Historical Buildings

Non-invasive injection through small access ports preserves the structure above while rebuilding the soil layer below, no excavation, no facade impact.

Inner Corner Crack

Crack at the inside corner where two foundation walls meet. The most critical pattern, almost always structural.

Our rule

We don't patch. We fix permanently.

Every structural repair restores the section with a stronger, more sustainable material than what originally failed. If a crack is identified as structural, the only honest fix is to rebuild that section with a superior material, since the original already failed once. That's not an upsell, it's the rule that keeps a lifetime warranty real.

"Could not have asked for a more professional, detailed, and thorough job. Raf was a pleasure to work with from moment one, reliable, responsive, and clearly passionate and informed about his work. He and his team went above and beyond, without any attempt to 'upsell,' working late into the evening to get everything completed."

"Raf is an expert you can trust to find the right solution. After consulting with multiple contractors, Raf was the only one who would solve our wall crack and leak the correct way, showcasing deep expertise in understanding the root cause. We have had no water in our basement since!"

"I had contacted a number of contractors but they either didn't do that type of work or just never responded. Raf replied to my email within two hours, and came over within a few days. Within a week the work was completed, ahead of schedule. Foundation and concrete apron look fantastic."

"Raf did an amazing job repairing several large cracks in the masonry walls of our garage in Westchester. His deep knowledge and experience was reflected in the work quality, the techniques, materials, and application can be complicated. We learned a lot from working with him."

"Raf communicated extremely well throughout the entire process. When I found out I could not install a sump pump, he came and helped me make the correct choice. Raf filled 60 cinder blocks and coated my walls. Even after the install, I had questions and Raf came over same-day to discuss."

"Raf Volkov and his team installed structural reinforcement to our basement walls and slab. He also sealed leaking cracks in our foundation. Very professional, used the best materials, carbon fiber, Kevlar and epoxy, at a reasonable price. Highly recommend."

"I had a leak in my basement. Raf did an excellent analysis of the problem followed by an excellent job, clean, prompt and timely, explaining every step along the way. The basement is dry. Thank you!"

"I was advised by another contractor that extensive repairs would be needed before painting my basement. Rafail was very honest, stating there was no way to determine that without seeing behind the walls. He took time to share valuable insights on preventive measures. Rare to encounter a professional who genuinely prioritizes the customer's best interests."
