Adjustable steel support posts were placed beneath the floor joists and secured on a solid base to address sagging and uneven areas. This system provides reliable, long-term support by redistributing the weight of the home to stable soil below. The result is improved structural integrity, reduced floor bounce, and a safer, more stable living environment.

Before

After

This St. Augustine home was experiencing signs of foundation settlement, including soil shifting around the exterior, potential structural movement, and areas of concern near the foundation footing.

To permanently address the issue, our team installed helical piers deep into stable load-bearing soil beneath the foundation. These engineered steel piers are designed to bypass weak surface soils and provide long-term stabilization, helping lift and support the affected area.

After installation, the area was carefully backfilled and restored, leaving the home with a secure foundation and improved structural integrity. This solution not only prevents further settlement but also protects the home’s value for years to come.
