Foundation Settlement Repair Tampa
Foundation Engineers
Foundation Masters, LLC provides engineered structural solutions to stop foundation movement permanently. If you’re noticing cracks in your walls, sloping floors, or doors that won’t shut properly, your home may be experiencing foundation settlement. This problem is extremely common across Tampa, Orlando, and much of Central Florida due to poor soil conditions, high water tables, and sinkhole-prone areas.
At Foundation Masters, LLC, we specialize in diagnosing and repairing settlement using advanced techniques backed by licensed civil engineering. Whether you’re dealing with early-stage cracking or severe movement, we can stabilize, lift, and protect your structure—without tearing it apart.
How Foundation Settlement Happens
Your home sits on layers of soil—each with different strength, density, and drainage characteristics. In Florida, it’s not uncommon for soil type to change every 12 inches in depth (USDA Soil Survey). Some homes are even built on poorly compacted fill, which leads to faster and more severe settlement. When those soils shift or compress, the footings under your foundation begin to sink or tilt, causing:
- Uneven loading on walls
- Cracks in masonry, drywall, and stucco
- Doors/windows that jam or skew
- Long-term structural deformation

Understanding Settlement Types
- Uniform Settlement – Even sinking, often no visible damage.
- Tipping Settlement – Tilting floors, often without cracks.
- Differential Settlement – Uneven sinking, cracks, and serious structural risk.

Our Foundation Settlement Repair Solutions
- Foundation Underpinning (Piering) – Helical or push piers driven into stable soil or bedrock. A steel bracket connects to your footing, allowing us to lift and permanently support the structure (ASCE 7 Load Standards).
- Polymer Injection – Expanding structural foam injected into loose or voided soil to restore load-bearing capacity and reduce movement.
- Grout Pumping (Mudjacking) – Concrete slurry pumped beneath sunken slabs to lift them and fill voids. Ideal for driveways, patios, and slab homes.
All systems are designed by licensed engineers, comply with the Florida Building Code, and are backed by 25-year transferable warranties. For flood-prone areas, we also follow FEMA flood zone guidelines to ensure stability even in high-water conditions.
