Older homes, new builds

Foundations in Fort Lauderdale.

Some of the homes we are called to here were standing long before their current owners moved in, while some of the newest projects are still on paper.

Around the city, the work falls into a few groups:

  • Coral Ridge, Victoria Park, Rio Vista and Harbor BeachSingle-family neighborhoods, many of them on the water.
  • Older inland streetsOlder houses and small commercial buildings away from the coast.
  • Triplexes and small rentalsMulti-family buildings where an owner or housing provider has tenants living inside.
  • New constructionProjects where a general contractor needs foundation piles before the building goes up.

Jobs in our records here include a house on NE 46th Street that its owner said was sinking, and a home on NE 26th Avenue with cracking and settling around it.

What moves a foundation is often below ground. Soil that was never compacted properly can give way slowly, and water that pools along the walls can loosen what is left.

We tell you what we see first and what we would do about it second. If a smaller repair will do the job, that is the one we recommend.

Owners & contractors

Homes, rentals and new builds.

We do not hand jobs to outside crews. The people installing your piers or piles work for SCFS.

For homeowners

When a house starts to sink

A sinking corner, a crack that keeps opening, or a sloped floor in one room are the calls we hear most from homeowners. A home on SW 14th Street, for example, needed six push piers.

We look first, then lay out the options and what each one involves. If underpinning with push piers is the right fix, our own crew carries it out. When the trouble turns out to be under a crawl space or a pool deck instead, we look at that too and explain what we find.

Our foundation work comes with a Lifetime Warranty, and financing, including Ygrene, is there if you need it.

For landlords, housing providers & GCs

Rentals, multi-family and new construction

For a triplex on SW 3rd Avenue, our crew installed six push piers. On rental buildings, we talk through access and timing with the owner before work starts, so tenants know what to expect.

General contractors can bring us in for new construction piles. Share drawings and engineering early, and Nicole Barrett-Hurt will work permits and scheduling around your build.

Commercial owners can also call us about concrete restoration on their buildings.
