Foundation Repair Methods

The Best Repair Method(s) For Your Florida Property will depend upon many factors including your soil conditions, drainage patterns, any sinkhole activity, other proximate environment conditions, structure weight, accessibility and damage, etc.  Geotechnical engineers will determine the type(s) of remediation we recommend, which may include the following processes alone or in combination.

Foundation Underpinning

pdf-underpinningThis method solves a variety of soil and foundation problems with specific products and precise engineering techniques to lift, stabilize and repair structures that have settled or otherwise been damaged by shrinking and expanding of clays, decomposition of organic material, sinkhole activity, water drainage erosion and other unstable soil conditions.

The term “Underpinning” encompasses several different, exacting techniques and specific products – going by such labels as piers, piles, pins and anchors – which are used to transfer the structure’s weight from its foundation, through the unstable soils beneath it, and down to the more stable bedrock.

Drilled Piers

pdf-drilledpiersAn engineer might require Drilled Piers or Pre-Drilling to advance steel piers into stable limerock for a light structure or for soil conditions involving a very deep limestone with zones of clay or consolidated soils above it.

How are Drilled Piers applied? We install Drilled Piers directly against your structure’s foundation, then drive them down to the limestone layer with our exclusive drilling equipment.  The Piers can be permanently attached once their load bearing capacity is tested.

We use exclusively the #1 industry standard for underpinning products – ECP Foundation Products  – and back our foundation repairs with a Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty.  ECP is the original equipment manufacturer of the patented, fourth generation ECP Steel Piers,TM  the Helical Torque AnchorTM and related accessories that we use in our underpinning projects.

  • ECP Steel PiersTM – These underpinning products are often referred to as push piers, resistance piers, micropiles, pins, push pins, deep foundations and mini piers.  They are driven hydraulically into the soil to lift a structure’s foundation, then the top bracket is capped to hold the structure in place permanently.  Tested and proven effective in all soil types, these pins can be installed under existing foundations from the outside or inside to provide long lasting stability.
  • ECP Helical Torque AnchorsTM – These screw pile products are alternatively referred to as helical anchors, helical piles, screw anchors or cross plate anchors.  They have applications such as raising and stabilizing an existing foundation, constructing sound new foundations, for retaining walls and utility poles.  They provide both load bearing (compression) and uplift (tension) resistance, with the advantages of quick installation in any weather with little or no vibration and minimal disturbance to the site.

Grouting To Stabilize Soils Under Your Foundation

Sometimes Engineers recommend using Grout Injection in conjunction with Underpinning to stabilize soils and seal collapsed or eroded limestone to complete a foundation repair project. While underpinning supports a structure on the more solid bedrock layer, it does not remediate a sinkhole or solidify otherwise unstable soil conditions. Grouting is still required.  The type grout and procedure used depend upon your geological situation and may include:

  • Deep Compaction Grouting(Pressure Grouting) – A low slump grout is used in areas with sinkhole conditions.  It is injected into soils at or above the limestone layer to seal collapsed limestone, fill voids and compact loose soils.
  • Chemical Grout Injection (Chemical Grouting) – This grouting method is sometimes recommended by engineers to stabilize shallow soils around the perimeter and near the surface of your home following Compaction Grouting or Foundation Underpinning.
