Operating from an expansive 11,500 square foot facility, this industry-leading company has completed more than 2,000 successful sinkhole and foundation repair projects while performing 100 to 125 compaction grouting jobs annually, earning recognition as the #1 most trusted name in sinkhole repair throughout Central Florida. Located in the heart of Ocala, Florida, the Horse Capital of the World.

Sinkhole remediation excellence represents Foundation Services' primary specialty, utilizing advanced deep compaction grouting techniques as the most effective method to reduce sinkhole potential, stabilize existing sinkholes, and fill sinkhole voids while providing long-term structural stability for residential and commercial properties. This specialized expertise includes comprehensive site evaluation, subsurface investigation, customized remediation planning, and professional execution that addresses the unique geological challenges present throughout Central Florida's karst terrain where limestone dissolution creates ongoing sinkhole risks.

Compaction grouting specialization employs pressurized low mobility grouting techniques specifically designed to correct building settlement, reinforce backfills, and densify loose subsurface soils through precise injection of specialized grout materials that create stable, load-bearing foundations. Foundation Services' compaction grouting expertise includes understanding soil conditions, grout formulation, injection pressure management, and quality control procedures that ensure optimal results for each unique project while providing long-term stability and performance.

Foundation repair services encompass comprehensive solutions for residential and commercial foundation problems, including foundation underpinning, structural stabilization, settlement correction, and foundation reinforcement that restore structural integrity while preventing future foundation movement. These foundation repair capabilities include detailed structural analysis, customized repair planning, skilled installation, and lifetime transferable warranties that provide property owners with confidence in their foundation investments and long-term structural stability.

New construction pilings provide essential deep foundation support for new buildings, additions, and structures requiring stable foundation systems in challenging soil conditions typical of Central Florida's geography. Foundation Services' piling expertise includes helical piers, push piers, concrete pilings, and specialized foundation systems that transfer structural loads to stable bearing strata while accommodating site-specific soil conditions and structural requirements.

Underdrain systems installation addresses water management issues that can compromise foundation stability through professional design and installation of subsurface drainage systems that redirect groundwater away from foundation areas while preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup that contributes to foundation settlement and structural problems. These drainage solutions include French drains, foundation drains, and comprehensive water management systems tailored to each property's specific conditions.

High-profile project experience demonstrates Foundation Services' exceptional capabilities and industry recognition through prestigious assignments including foundation repair for NASA at Cape Canaveral just prior to a shuttle launch, pre-construction sinkhole remediation for Love's Travel Center in Ocala, and Vanguard High School sinkhole remediation, reflecting the company's ability to handle critical infrastructure projects requiring the highest levels of expertise and reliability.
