Foundation Repair

You might be surprised to learn that most foundation issues are caused by either too much water in the soil around and under your foundation, or too little. Either way, it can lead to soil erosion which can destabilize your home’s foundation and cause serious structural damage to the home itself.
At Foundation Professionals of Florida we offer a variety of foundation repair solutions including,

Concrete Leveling and Lifting

If you have sunken sidewalks, pool decks, or driveways, you may notice your trip on them from time to time. This could lead to a potential lawsuit if someone hurts themselves really badly. They also lower your property value, making your home look unsightly.
In the not-so-distant past, sunken concrete slabs were fixed either by digging them up and replacing them, or via something called ‘’mudjacking’’. These weren’t the best solutions though.
Digging up and replacing a sidewalk – or any other concrete slab – is a time-consuming fix. When you pour new concrete, you need to wait for it to dry and harden. While you’re doing that, you can’t use the slab. It’s ‘’out of commission’’. Also, if the old slab was sinking because the soil under it was weak, and unable to support it, the same thing is going to happen with the new slab.
Mudjacking is a repair technique that involves injecting a slurry – made up of soil, water, and cement – under the slab in order to lift it back into position. The problem with this repair method is the weight of the slurry. It’s pretty heavy because it contains cement. If the soil under the slab was already struggling to support it, placing a cement slurry on top of it certainly isn’t going to help.
Today, most concrete slabs are lifted and leveled via polyurethane foam injection. This involves injecting a super lightweight polyurethane foam under the slab in order to raise it. It’s a quick, minimally-invasive procedure that usually only takes 2-3 hours, and as soon as the repair is complete, you can start using the slab again. It’s also an environmentally-friendly solution as the polyurethane foam will not leach into the soil.

Seawall Repair

Seawalls serve as a barrier between land and water, and protect Florida’s beachfront homes from erosion. However, seawalls themselves can erode over time. This is caused by tidal fluctuations, hurricanes and tropical storms, and a slowly rising sea level. If your seawall is starting to fail, contact us today and we’ll be out an inspection and free estimate.
