Signs Your Home Needs Foundation Repair

Foundation problems often start small but worsen quickly. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to act:
Micropile Structural Support

Cracks in walls or floors

Shifting or settling foundations often lead to visible cracks in drywall, tile, or concrete.

Underpin Foundations

Doors or windows sticking

Misaligned frames caused by uneven settling can make it hard to operate doors and windows.

Underpin Foundations

Sloping or uneven floors

Sagging or dipping floors may indicate movement beneath the home’s foundation.

Micropile Structural Support

Gaps around windows or doors

Separation between trim and walls often points to structural movement or uneven settling.

Underpin Foundations

Stair-step cracks in stucco

A classic sign of foundation movement, particularly in concrete block walls or stucco finishes.

Underpin Foundations

Water pooling near foundation

Persistent moisture around the base of your home can weaken soil and lead to erosion or settlement.

First, David our sales consultant was very patient and helpful. He did not sell me anything I didn't need. I had to delay the work till the new year which delayed it 3-4 months and when I reached back out to David, he was very accommodating and kept the same price for the work. Felix and the crew arrived on the start day and talked to me about the job before they started, to help me understand what they were going to do. I have no experience with this kind of work but it very impressive driving these helicon piles down 15ft to fix my retaining pool wall. they also talked me thru each step so I was comfortable. I've had a problem with this pool retaining wall for a long time and I believe it is now fixed and definitely will never move again. The second crew arrived on day 2 to do the injection chemicals to stabilize any soil movement and they also talked me thru the process and were very careful as I told them about the water pipes under the pavers. These folks handled this job very well and have a lot of experience which was on display. They also left the site same as they found it. It has a lifetime warranty and is transferable if I ever sell my house so that's nice. I do believe, if I ever need to call them about warranty in the future, they will happily come back.
This was a very good experience.

We've worked with the pros at Helicon for several years. They are actively engaged with us on the ongoing maintenance of our seawall which is critical to our condominium community as we are bordered by water on 3 sides. The Helicon process has worked well in repairing areas where cracks and leaks developed. Helicon has been very responsive following hurricane damage to quickly address any new areas of concern. They are a terrific company to work with. We highly recommend them.

Foundation Repair Solutions for Your Florida Home

At Helicon, we offer a full range of foundation repair solutions engineered specifically for Florida’s soil conditions and home construction types. Learn more about our reliable solutions designed to protect and enhance your home.

Micropile Structural Support

Underpinning

Underpinning strengthens your foundation by extending its depth to more stable soil layers or bedrock using heavy-duty steel piers. This method is ideal for older Florida properties with settlement caused by weak soils or fluctuating moisture levels.

soil stabilization for foundation repairs

Soil Stabilization

Florida’s loose or porous soils can lead to foundation shifting and settlement. We inject specialized grout beneath the foundation to compact and solidify the soil, creating a stable base that prevents future movement.

soil stabilization for foundation repairs

Slab Piers

For homes with concrete slab foundations, slab piers are installed beneath the slab to lift and relevel the structure. This minimally invasive solution corrects settlement without extensive demolition.

Micropile Structural Support

Helical Piers

Helical piers are screwed into the ground to provide immediate and lasting support to sinking or settling foundations. Perfect for lightweight structures and coastal areas with sandy or unstable soils.

Foundation Repair FAQ

What are signs of possible foundation problems?
Stair step cracks, windows and doors are hard to open/close, depressions in the yard, cracks in the slab, creaking noises throughout building.
Will my landscape be damaged?

Your property is important to you, and that makes it important to us. We take great care during repairs to avoid damaging your landscaping, doing our best to leave everything just as we found it.

What causes foundation problems in Florida?
Foundation issues in Florida are often caused by the state’s unique geology, including unstable soil conditions, high water tables, and sinkhole activity. Soil erosion, expansive clay, and poor drainage can also contribute to foundation shifting, leading to cracks, uneven floors, and structural instability.
How can I tell if my foundation needs repair?
Common signs of foundation problems include visible cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings, doors and windows that stick or don’t close properly, uneven floors, gaps between walls and floors, and water pooling near the foundation. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to get a professional inspection to assess the severity.
What are helical piers, and when are they used?
Helical piers are a type of deep foundation system used to stabilize foundations by transferring the building’s weight to more stable soil or bedrock. In Florida, they are often used for homes and structures built on unstable soil or areas with a high water table, offering a reliable solution to prevent settling or shifting.
Is foundation repair expensive?
The cost of foundation repair in Florida can vary depending on the severity of the issue, the type of repair needed, and the size of the property. While it may seem costly, addressing foundation problems early can prevent more significant damage and higher repair costs down the road.
How long does foundation repair take?
The timeline for foundation repair depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, foundation repairs can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. For more extensive work like underpinning or helical pier installation, the process may take longer.
Can foundation repair be done in a home with a high water table?

Yes, foundation repair can be done in homes with a high water table. Methods like underpins, soil stabilization, and in some cases, helical piers, are designed to provide deep, stable support in moisture-prone conditions. These solutions help counteract soil movement caused by water fluctuations, preserving the integrity of your foundation.

Do I need to move out during foundation repair?
In most cases, you won’t need to move out during foundation repairs, but it depends on the extent of the work. For minor repairs, you can continue to live in your home. However, if extensive underpinning or excavation is required, it may be advisable to vacate the premises temporarily for safety reasons.
How do I know if the foundation repair was done correctly?

The most reliable sign of a successful foundation repair is that no further settlement occurs over time. Additionally, previous issues—such as cracks, uneven floors, or sticking doors and windows—should stop worsening or may improve.

Is foundation repair covered by insurance?
Foundation repair is typically not covered by homeowner’s insurance unless the damage was caused by a covered event like a fire or storm. However, some policies may cover certain types of foundation problems, such as those caused by sinkholes in Florida. It’s important to check your policy or speak with your insurance provider for details.
