Foundation Repair Services in Cooper City FL
Foundation Repair
Our customers are often surprised to hear that water – either too much or too little – causes most foundation problems. Depending on what kind of soil you have, water can either cause the soil to expand or erode. This creates movement under the foundation that can lead to structural damage.
At Foundation Professionals of Florida we offer a variety of foundation repair solutions including,
Steel push piers for underpinning
Helical piers for underpinning
Wall anchors to straighten foundation walls
Helical tiebacks to straighten foundation walls
Carbon fiber repair for bowed walls and foundation cracks
Compaction or permeation grouting for sinkholes and settling foundations
Concrete Leveling and Lifting
While uneven concrete isn’t pleasant to look at, the real problem is the fact that it’s a safety hazard. If someone trips, falls, and gets injured while walking on your sidewalk, driveway, or pool deck, you could find yourself facing a lawsuit. So, it isn’t a good idea to put off this repair. Take care of it as soon as possible.
In the not-so-distant past uneven concrete was fixed in one of two ways. It was either dug up and replaced, or repaired via a technique commonly referred to as ‘’mudjacking’’. They both had their problems though.
In the not-so-distant past uneven concrete was fixed in one of two ways. It was either dug up and replaced, or repaired via a technique commonly referred to as ‘’mudjacking’’. They both had their problems though.
Replacing a slab means pouring a new one, and that means you need time for the freshly poured concrete to dry and harden. So, you won’t be able to use your new slab right away. That’s pretty inconvenient. Another problem with replacing the slab is the fact that slabs often sink because the soil can’t hold them up. If this is the problem, the same thing will happen with the new slab. In other words, you haven’t solved anything.
Mudjacking lifts the slab by injecting a cement slurry under it. Again, if the slab sunk because the soil wasn’t able to support it, imagine what will happen if you add even more weight to the soil in the form of a cement slurry. You guessed it. The slab could sink even deeper into the soil.
These drawbacks are the reason the vast majority of concrete lifting and leveling jobs today are done via polyurethane foam injection, a minimally-invasive procedure that uses an ultra lightweight foam to lift the slab. Most jobs take no more than a few hours, and after the repair is complete you can start using the slab again.
Seawall Repair
Florida beachfront property will erode over time unless it’s protected by a seawall. Seawalls do a great job at this because they form a defensive barrier between the land and the water. The problem is that seawalls themselves can erode from extreme weather and tidal fluctuations. If your seawall is starting to fail, contact us today and we’ll come out for an inspection and free estimate.
Signs Of Foundation Problems
Common signs your home might have a foundation problem include,
