Why Choose Our Foundation Repair St. Pete Team
St. Pete properties face a mix of sandy and organic soils, shallow water tables, salt-laden air, and seasonal storm impacts. We use proven systems such as helical piers, push piers, pressure grouting to densify loose zones and fill voids, and concrete or wood/timber piling where required. For new construction support, our helical pier installs include a 25-year transferable warranty; concrete and wood/timber piling systems include a 15-year warranty.
Because we design and manufacture many of our own components, we maintain quality control from materials to installation—consistent methods, verified capacities, and results that stand up to coastal conditions in neighborhoods like Old Northeast, Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Pasadena, Tierra Verde, and Gulfport.
Engineered Systems & Process
After inspection, you’ll receive a prioritized scope of work and, when required, permit-ready documentation. Typical St. Petersburg solutions include:
- Helical or push piers to stabilize settlement and lift where feasible.
- Pressure grouting beneath slabs and along load paths to address voiding.
- Drainage design to reduce hydrostatic pressure and manage stormwater.
- Carbon fiber or steel reinforcement to increase wall and beam capacity.
We coordinate with insurers, HOAs, and real-estate timelines, and we stage the site to minimize disruption to landscaping, hardscape, and access.

St. Petersburg Foundation Repair FAQs
What foundation issues are common in St. Petersburg?
St. Pete homes sit on coastal sandy soils with a high water table and scattered fill, especially near
Tampa Bay and Boca Ciega Bay. We often see slab settlement from washout,
differential movement at additions, cracking from poor drainage, and
moisture intrusion that accelerates rebar corrosion in older concrete.
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 needed.
All designs are engineered for Florida Building Code wind, flood, scour, and corrosion conditions common to Pinellas 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 for strict quality control.
How does your inspection and repair process work?
We start with a free on-site inspection, then deliver a prioritized scope of work and
permit-ready engineering drawings if required. We coordinate with HOAs, insurers, and the
City of St. Petersburg 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 neighborhoods like Shore Acres, Snell Isle, Old Northeast, and other low-lying areas.
Can you help with waterfront or flood-prone properties?
Absolutely. We stabilize bay- and canal-front foundations, addressing tidal backflow, erosion, and scour.
Solutions include underpinning, void remediation, and corrosion protection tailored to St. Pete’s coastal 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 repairs take in St. Pete?
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 St. Petersburg?
Minor void filling starts in the low thousands. Pier or piling systems for larger or waterfront homes often range
$15,000–$40,000+ depending on pier count, access, and soil conditions. After inspection, you’ll receive a detailed, itemized proposal.
