Foundation Repairs That Stop Settlement and Restore Stability

If your home or building shows signs of movement; cracks, sloping floors, doors that no longer close properly, the foundation may be settling. Florida soil conditions are often to blame, and the right repair solution isn’t cosmetic, it’s structural.

At Florida Shoreline and Foundation, we work with engineered plans for foundation repair and stabilization services using helical piles and resistance piers. Our team works with structural engineers to design and install permanent systems that stop movement, restore structural integrity, and bring peace of mind.

Why Foundations Settle in Florida

Unstable soil is a common problem in our area and beyond, from coastal areas to the middle of the state. Florida Shoreline has the knowledge and experience you need.

  • wave1 Loose or expansive soils
  • wave1 Shrink-swell clay layers
  • wave1 Decomposing root systems from removed trees
  • wave1 Organic fill or improperly compacted material
Common causes of settlement can lead to visible cracks, structural shifts and long-term property loss.

Florida Shoreline and Foundation Repair Systems

Florida Shoreline and Foundation uses galvanized steel piers designed to bypass problem soils and transfer structural loads to stable ground below. Depending on your site conditions and structural needs, we may recommend:

  • wave1 Resistance piers: Driven piers offering high capacity and minimal soil disruption
  • wave1 Helical piles: Screw-in piers ideal for lift, speed, and access-restricted spaces
  • wave1 Slab piers: Interior support for sunken slabs and walkways
Foundation systems can be used to stop ongoing settlement or retrofit a foundation to support additional loads, such as second-story additions or pool decks.

The cost of repair with an underpinning solution is almost always more economical than removing the structure, repairing the soils and rebuilding. All underpinning materials are covered with a CHANCE® 30-Year Transferable Warranty.

How the Process Works

1. Site Evaluation and Engineering

• Soil conditions are analyzed through a geotechnical report
• A structural engineer designs the pier system based on your building and site needs
• Plans are prepared and permits submitted

2. Installation

• Our certified crew mobilizes with care and clean jobsite practices
• Piers are installed at key points along the foundation using engineered spacing and depth
• All installation data is logged and verified with the engineer of record

3. Finalization and Certification

• Installation logs document depth, pressure, and performance
• Engineer signs off with a Certificate of Completion
• All documentation is submitted for permit closeout
• Your structure is now stabilized, and settlement is permanently stopped

Certified and Backed by Warranty

We are a Chance© certified installer, using field-proven products backed by a 30-year transferable material warranty. This gives you or your future buyer confidence that the foundation is protected for the long term. ​

Why Choose Underpinning Instead of Rebuilding ​

When a structure is settling, many assume it must be demolished or rebuilt. In most cases, underpinning is faster, more affordable, and preserves the value of the asset. It restores structural integrity and allows the home or building to become marketable again, without the cost and disruption of starting over. ​
