This Saint Augustine home was showing clear signs of foundation settlement horizontal and stair-step cracks running along the stucco siding and chimney, combined with visible discoloration at the base of the wall due to moisture accumulation. The symptoms suggested long-term structural shifting likely caused by unstable soil conditions.
To solve the issue, we installed helical piers at critical points along the foundation to permanently stabilize and lift the structure. The second image shows one of the helical piers anchored deep beneath the home, reaching load-bearing strata to provide long-term support. This method not only prevents further settling but also protects the home's structural integrity and value. Another successful save by the Sunshine Foundation team!
This Saint Augustine home was experiencing water pooling near the garage, creating risks of concrete damage and foundation stress. The before photo shows the area prepared with rebar reinforcement and a drainage channel set in place to tackle the issue. After carefully pouring and finishing the new concrete, the sleek channel drain is now fully integrated into the driveway. This solution ensures rainwater is properly directed away from the garage, protecting the home and providing a smooth, long-lasting finish.
This St. Augustine home was experiencing weakened structural support in the crawl space, leading to uneven floors and reduced stability above. Over time, shifting soil and moisture exposure can cause original supports to settle or fail.
Our team installed heavy-duty crawl space support jacks to reinforce the floor system and restore proper support. These adjustable steel posts are set on stable footings and designed to permanently stabilize sagging floors while withstanding long-term ground movement.
The result: improved floor strength, better load distribution, and long-lasting structural stability for the home.
This homeowner in St. Augustine wanted to upgrade their damp and exposed crawl space with a cleaner, healthier solution. Our team installed a durable crawl space vapor barrier system to help seal out ground moisture, reduce humidity, and protect the home from mold, musty odors, and moisture-related damage.
The transformation turned this crawl space from a dirty, unprotected area into a cleaner and more controlled environment beneath the home. Crawl space encapsulation can also help improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency while protecting the home’s structural components long term.
