Lido Key Foundation Repair FAQs
What foundation issues are common on Lido Key?
Lido Key homes are built on barrier-island sandy and organic soils with an extremely high water table and
salt-laden air. We frequently see slab settlement from soil washout, differential movement near seawalls or canals,
and moisture intrusion that accelerates rebar corrosion in concrete.
Which repair methods work best locally?
We stabilize and lift foundations using helical piers and push piers, inject
pressure/compaction grouting to fill voids, and install concrete or timber piling
where deeper support is needed. All systems are engineered to withstand Florida Building Code coastal wind, flood, and scour conditions.
Are your foundation systems warrantied?
Yes. Our helical pier installations include a 25-year transferable warranty.
Concrete and timber piling systems carry a 15-year warranty. We maintain quality control by manufacturing many components in-house.
How does your inspection and repair process work?
We begin with a free on-site inspection and structural evaluation, then provide a prioritized scope of work
and permit-ready engineering drawings if required. We coordinate with HOAs, insurers, and the
City of Sarasota for permitting and approvals.
Do you address drainage and hydrostatic pressure issues?
Yes. We install French drains, engineered grading, moisture barriers, and tidal backflow prevention
to reduce hydrostatic pressure beneath slabs and along seawall-adjacent foundations — essential in Lido Key’s coastal environment.
Can you help with seawall or canal-front properties?
Absolutely. We specialize in tidal erosion, seawall movement, and hydrostatic uplift solutions for Lido Key waterfront homes.
Our systems stabilize footings and help prevent future washout and saltwater-related damage.
Do I need a structural engineer for foundation repair?
Yes. 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 on Lido Key?
Void grouting: typically 1–2 days. Helical or push piers: usually 3–7 days.
Larger piling or structural reinforcement projects may require several weeks including permitting and HOA coordination.
What do foundation repairs cost on Lido Key?
Minor void filling starts in the low thousands. Pier or piling systems for waterfront homes often range
$15,000–$45,000+ depending on pier count, access, and soil depth. We provide a detailed, itemized proposal after inspection.
