Soil stabilization is the process of ionic exchange that helps to prevent soil swell and shifting underneath your home or business’ foundation. There are countless techniques on the market today, many of which add material to the soil to strengthen it. The chemical soil stabilization process, however, is the best option.

Once injected with Earthlok, the soil won’t swell, preventing damage to the foundation and construction overhead.

How Chemical Soil Stabilization Works

Here at Earthlok, we inject our chemical soil stabilization formula directly into the ground on your construction project site or around your existing foundation. The environmentally friendly solution reacts with the existing minerals in the soil to help stabilize the surrounding area and reduce the properties of expansive soil. Here in North Texas, much of our ground is expansive soil, which makes building difficult at times.

Through the reaction we promote, the soil helps to neutralize the acidic properties of the chemical. However, it’s important to note that we use non-hazardous diluted acid in concentrated form. That’s how we achieve our green status.

Chemical Soil Stabilization Applications

The chemical soil stabilization process is designed to strengthen the construction and safeguard foundations, walls, flooring, roadways, parking lots, tarmacs, and more. More specifically, this process benefits:

• Residential – Your home, through soil stabilization, is protected from soil swell underneath the foundation.
