Sticking doors, sloping floors, and cracks in your drywall are clear signs that your home's foundation has shifted and is no longer level. Professional re-leveling is a critical maintenance procedure that restores your home's structural stability and prevents more serious problems.
The main cause is Florida's sandy soil, which is susceptible to shifting and settling, especially during the heavy summer rainy season. As the soil compacts unevenly, the piers supporting your home can sink or tilt. Other causes include an improper initial setup or rotted wooden shims.
You may feel like you're walking slightly uphill or downhill.
A twisted frame distorts door and window openings, causing them to jam.
Stress cracks often appear around door and window frames.
You may see gaps between cabinets and the wall, or the exterior skirting may pull away from the home.
An unlevel home is a serious structural problem that can lead to costly damage.
Foundation Inspection: We assess the entire support system, inspecting every pier, block, and shim.
Strategic Lifting: Using calibrated hydraulic jacks, we carefully and slowly raise the low sections of the home.
Support Adjustment: We adjust, reset, or replace supports as needed, often replacing old wooden shims with durable, modern materials.
Tie-Down Safety Check: We always inspect and re-tension your hurricane tie-downs after the home is repositioned.
Final Level Verification: We perform a final check throughout the home to confirm the structure is properly balanced and secure.
