Soil Injection in San Antonio
Soil injection, a process that reduces the ability for expansive clay soils to retain water, reduces soil heave and its corresponding damage. Soil injection with a proven product (soil stabilizer) reduces the soil’s ability to bond with water molecules to swell, so no responding shrinkage when water is removed.

Clay Soil Problems
Seasonal wet and dry cycles cause expansive clay soils to swell when wet and consolidate when dry. The swelling can cause a foundation to move upward (heave) and the drying can cause downward movement (deflection).
Benefits of Soil Injection
- Greatly Reduces Foundation Damage. Reduces swell and shrink cycles that are the major cause of cracks on the interior and exterior.
- Long Lasting Results. Injection of the soil stabilizer product has proven long-term results by modifying the soil.
- Strengthens Soil Density. Increases load capacity and sheer strength of the soil.
- Reduces Consequential Damages. No physical structure movement during application process, so no new cracks or plumbing damages as with traditional underpinning processes.
- Economical. Product and installation costs are minimal.
How Does Soil Injection Work?
The process of soil injection involves a special rig that injects a soil stabilizing chemical compound directly into the soil around a foundation or beneath concrete slabs. The chemical compound changes the composition of the soil so that it can no longer absorb moisture. This prevents the expansion and contraction cycle, which is the cause of most foundation damage.

Soil Injection Process
Soil injections with a proven, effective product alter the make-up of the soil, specifically reducing shrink/swell cycles. A self-contained rig injects the soil stabilizer product through a low-pressure/high-volume process, allowing maximum distribution. Cleanup is minimal.
Soil injection is a specialized technique that requires expertise and experience. It is essential to hire qualified foundation specialists with a track record of successful soil injection projects. Contact Ram Jack Texas - Central/South to learn more about our San Antonio soil injection services.
