Solutions to Prevent Sinkholes in your Florida Home

Foundation Professional of Florida can fix leaks and prevent sinkhole activity by using compaction grouting to firm loose soil. This compaction grouting increases the density of the soil layer to prevent sinkhole formation.

If we find that there is a void that has occurred in your yard, we do void filling using high strength polyurethane foam. This requires drilling small holes into the affected area and the polyurethane foam is injected into the holes as a liquid and in just a few seconds, it reaches its final volume into a foam material. It cures quickly so that the area can be used immediately after the repair. This is a permanent solution since it will never lose its density. This process allows the repair to cover a large area in just a little time.
