OneOverview
In Indonesia, many houses are built with red bricks (Bata Merah) or lightweight blocks (Batako), materials with weak tensile strength that are highly susceptible to severe shaking or uneven stress. Our solution focuses on “protective straightening,” using precise control to prevent secondary damage.
Two, Why is there absolutely no risk of collapse?
First stabilize the settlement, then correct the tilt
The first step involves stabilizing the foundation with anchor static pressure piles or grouting to ensure the house reaches a stable, non-subsiding state. This eliminates the root causes of instability and collapse before proceeding with gradual straightening.
Never take risks in rectification
For severely dilapidated houses, temporary supports and structural reinforcement are applied first to confirm safety before construction begins. The guiding principle throughout is “stability above all.”
ThreeWhy won’t it “cause more cracks the more you adjust” or damage doors and windows?
Many homeowners worry that rectification might snap the structure like “bending a dry twig.” In reality, our process is one of “stress release”:
1. Millimeter-level “flexible” regression
Slow-speed control: Corrects only 1mm to 5mm per day. This rate is far below the speed of material expansion/contraction caused by Indonesia’s daily temperature variations.
Effect: Walls, floors, and door/window frames have ample time to adapt to positional changes. Cracks originally widened by tilting will naturally close during gradual correction instead of expanding further.
(2) “Straightening” Rather Than “Forceful Pulling”
Principle: We employ synchronous jacking or controlled settlement. The force output is uniformly distributed across the entire plane – like lifting a book steadily rather than tugging just one corner.
Door/window protection: The uniform displacement generates minimal pressure on frames (Kusen). Typically, previously jammed doors/windows regain smooth operation automatically after correction.
(3) Pre-treatment of Weak Nodes
Before rectification, we conduct pre-inspections on common vulnerable areas in Indonesian buildings (such as beam-column joints). If potential hazards are identified in the existing structure, we perform reinforcement first to eliminate all factors that may lead to cracking.
Four, Standardized Construction vs. Amateur and Barbaric Construction
The “guerrilla” style of construction lacking supervision indeed has cases of damaging houses. Observe the fundamental differences:
| Risk Points | Our Company’s Standardized Process (Safe and Non-Destructive) | Amateur/Non-Compliant Construction (High Risk of Damage) |
| Basic Treatment | Pre-drive piles to prevent settlement, ensuring foundational stability first | Directly lifting without pile driving risks sudden foundation collapse |
| Constant speed recovery | Millimeter-level uniform speed, steady release of structural stress | Pursuit of high-speed pushing, instant breaking of beams and columns |
| Monitoring and Protection | Precision instruments collect and analyze data in real-time, providing early warnings | Relying solely on visual inspection or level gauges often means detecting deformations when it’s too late |
| Doors, windows, and walls %% Protective closure restores original flatness %% Forced compression deformation causes large-scale tile detachment | Protective closure restores original flatness | Forced extrusion deformation causes large-scale tile detachment |
Five, Summary: Rectification is a “gentle care” for houses
Professional rectification is a surgical procedure that breathes new life into buildings. The entire rectification process is gentler than your routine interior renovations. Not only will we not damage your walls, floor slabs, doors, or windows, but we will also eliminate existing structural safety hazards through straightening and reinforcement. The completed building will be more stable, straighter, and have enhanced earthquake resistance.
Have you noticed that some doors and windows in your home have started sticking and won’t close properly? This is a clear signal of structural stress. Through precise measurements, we can determine the extent to which these deformations can be corrected through realignment.
