Fort Myers Foundation Repair FAQs
What foundation issues are common in Fort Myers?
Fort Myers homes often sit on fill over sandy and organic soils with a high water table, especially near the
Caloosahatchee River and coastal floodplains. We frequently see slab settlement from washout,
differential movement at additions, cracking from poor drainage, and
moisture intrusion that accelerates rebar corrosion.
Which repair methods work best locally?
We stabilize and lift foundations using helical piers and push piers, fill voids with
pressure/compaction grouting, and use concrete or timber piling where deeper bearing is required.
Designs are engineered for Florida Building Code wind, flood, scour, and corrosion considerations common in Lee County.
Are your foundation systems warrantied?
Yes. Helical pier installations include a 25-year transferable warranty.
Concrete and timber piling systems carry a 15-year warranty. We manufacture many components in-house to maintain strict quality control.
How does your inspection and repair process work?
We start with a free on-site inspection, then provide a prioritized scope of work and
permit-ready engineering drawings if required. We coordinate with HOAs, insurers, and
Lee County/City of Fort Myers building officials to streamline approvals.
Do you address drainage and hydrostatic pressure problems?
Yes. We design and install French drains, grading corrections, downspout management, and moisture barriers
to reduce hydrostatic pressure under slabs and along walls—critical in high water table areas like McGregor, Iona, and San Carlos Park.
Can you help near rivers, canals, or coastal areas?
Absolutely. We routinely stabilize river- and canal-front foundations, addressing tidal backflow, erosion, and scour.
Solutions include underpinning, void remediation, and corrosion protection tailored to Fort Myers’ waterfront conditions.
Do I need a structural engineer for foundation repair?
Most structural repairs require engineered plans. Our team includes Civil Engineer Ken Sands, P.E.,
who signs and seals drawings for permitting and insurance compliance.
How long do Fort Myers repairs take?
Void grouting: typically 1–2 days. Helical/push piers: usually 3–7 days.
Piling or major reinforcement: several weeks including permitting and any HOA coordination.
What do foundation repairs cost in Fort Myers?
Minor void filling starts in the low thousands. Pier or piling systems for larger or waterfront homes commonly range
$15,000–$40,000+ depending on pier count, access, and soil conditions. After inspection, you’ll receive a
detailed, itemized proposal.
