Foundation Repair Methods

Micropile Structural Support

Structural Stabilization

Underpinning rests your property’s foundation on underground steel piers. These steel piers safely and permanently transfer the weight of a structure onto solid bedrock or load-bearing strata. In some cases, Helical Pier installation is used for shallower stabilization of load bearing walls. For additional stabilization, Injection Piers combine Compaction Grouting and Underpinning Foundation methods for the most stable foundation repair.

Underpin Foundations

Soil Stabilization

To improve the strength of soil so it can support a load-bearing structure, soil stabilization is a method that cementitious materials and chemicals are added to the soil. Two common techniques involve compaction grouting and chemical grouting.

Soil Stability

Helical Pier Installation

Helical Pier installation is ideal for stabilizing existing structures damaged due to settlement. The weight of a structure’s load-bearing walls is transferred off the weak soils and onto the helical piers.

Micropile Transfer Loads

Underpinning

Sometimes, foundations shift because the upper-level soil is loose. Underpinning lifts and re-levels homes by driving steel piers into solid bedrock, safely and permanently transferring the foundation’s weight load.

Steel Jacks for Crawl Space

Uneven floors or doors and windows not closing properly can be a sign of a failing crawl space foundation. Our galvanized steel jacks will level the crawl space foundation and add support throughout the structure.

Micropile Transfer Loads

Injection Piers

Injection piers are one of the most stable methods of foundation repair, injecting a grout solution, through pins, into the ground to create a stable foundation.

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.
