A fire that occurred at our Northcote property on January 12, 2007, that was caused by the spontaneous combustion of the patented polyurethane product called “Uretek” that is intended to improve the bearing capacity of foundation materials, and which is currently and extensively employed by Uretek throughout Australasia. I am concerned and saddened that, some writing in this post have doubted that this incident actually occurred. I can assure you it did, and I can provide photos and other details that shows the aftermath of a serious fire that was attended to by two fire trucks, and which, as the gas was still on at the time, could have destroyed our home and killed my wife and the Uretek technicians present on the day of the incident. If you are still contemplating hiring this company, ask them to tell you about the 2007 incident. Ask them to put in writing that the process is safe, and ask them to tell you what happens when the Uretek material is exposed to air and spontaneously combusts. <moderator: delete personal comment>
