What Causes Foundation Damage in Palm Harbor
Pinellas County sits on the same porous limestone bedrock found across west-central Florida, and that limestone dissolves slowly over time, leaving voids underground. Northern Pinellas, where Palm Harbor is located, has reported notably more sinkhole activity than the southern part of the county, putting it closer in line with neighboring Pasco County than with communities like St. Petersburg. When those underground voids form beneath a home, or when the soil above them shifts to fill the gaps, the ground stops supporting the foundation evenly, and that's when cracks, sloping floors, and sticking doors start to show up.
How We Fix It
Solid Foundations stabilizes a shifting foundation with steel piers, hydraulically driven down past unstable surface soil until they reach bedrock or another load-bearing layer. Each pier is load-tested on site before the foundation is lifted and leveled. The repair is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
