Targeted Sealing for Lateral Lines
Groundworks specializes in lateral line sealing using polyurethane to address weak points like leaking joints and cracks. This fast, effective solution stabilizes surrounding soils, fills annular voids, and minimizes downtime—perfect for high-traffic and remote locations alike.
Fast, Targeted Sealing for Critical Infrastructure
Groundworks’ lateral line sealing solution uses polyurethane to quickly address weak points such as leaking joints and cracks. This highly targeted process strengthens surrounding soil, minimizes downtime, and provides stability even in high-traffic areas.
Polyurethane Injection for Precise Lateral Line Sealing
Our lateral line sealing service targets compromised joints, cracks, and structural weaknesses within the pipe using polyurethane. The injected polyurethane expands to seal leaks, fill annular voids, and stabilize surrounding soils, restoring support to the lateral line. This adaptable approach can be performed from within the pipe or from the surface, making it a versatile solution for high-traffic and remote locations alike.
Signs Your Lateral Lines Need Stabilization
Weaknesses in lateral lines can compromise structural integrity and lead to ongoing issues. These indicators suggest that your lateral lines may need sealing and stabilization.
- Leaking Joints and Cracks: Water leakage around pipe joints and cracks signals inflow issues.
- Soil Erosion Around Lines: Indicates destabilized soil and potential voids around lateral lines.
- Compromised Pipe Materials: Cracks, degraded concrete, or visible holes in metal pipes.
- Increased Inflow and Infiltration: Greater water intrusion may indicate damaged lateral lines.
- Sudden Sinkholes or Depressions: Surface-level sinkholes suggest soil loss or voids near lateral lines.
Benefits of Lateral Line Joint Sealing
Groundworks’ lateral line sealing process restores infrastructure integrity, ideal for commercial, industrial, and government applications.
- No Excavation Required: Polyurethane injection provides a minimally invasive solution.
- Fast and Efficient: Quick installation minimizes downtime and impact.
- Strengthens Surrounding Soil: Expanding polyurethane fills voids and densifies soil, reinforcing stability.
- Versatile for Any Location: Suitable for both high-traffic and remote areas, adaptable to varying site conditions.
- Precise Targeting: Allows for exact placement at compromised areas, sealing and stabilizing only where needed.

Products We Use
Polyurethane Injections
What We Do
We rehabilitate lateral lines by using high-density polyurethane injection to fill voids, stabilize surrounding soils, and seal against groundwater infiltration. This ensures structural integrity and prevents further damage.
How It Works
We inject high-density polyurethane into voids around the lateral line. The expanding foam stabilizes the soil, seals leaks, and reinforces the line, providing long-lasting support and preventing future erosion or settlement.
