Foundation Repair Fort Walton Beach, Florida
Living in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the foundation of your home may become damaged due to the fact that the entire state of Florida has soil that is composed of limestone. Because limestone is porous, when the acid in rainwater runs through it, it causes the limestone to dissolve, creating voids beneath the foundation. This will cause the foundation to sink and settle into these voids, causing foundation failure. Look for the following signs to see if your foundation has shifted or settled:
- Sloping floors
- Cracks in the foundation
- Leaning chimney
- Bowing or leaning walls
- Floor cracks
- Wall cracks
- Sticking doors and windows
If you notice any of these signs, it is important to contact a professional with knowledge in foundation repair. The experts at Foundation Professionals of Florida can come and give you a free inspection and offer you the best solutions for your repair needs. If we find that your foundation is in need of leveling and stabilization, we use underpinning products such as helical piers and steel piers.
