How do you repair sagging foundations?

I live in Tampa and found evidence of a sinkhole. I had it repaired in 2010. While the company seemed to do a conscientious job, the owner informed me that he could not lift the sagging kitchen floor without much damage. Repairing that floor wih cement has not restored the correct level. My insurance co -Homewise- went bankrupt. What to do?

Let me first address the Homewise part of your question. As we know, Homewise is in receivership and at this point the State, or Florida Insurance Guaranty Association, has taken over control of Homewise claims. This is somewhat good news for Homewise insureds as now they at least have an ear to listen and someone with the ability to help. I would first suggest that you contact FIGA and advise them of your claim and ask who the representative from FIGA is that you should contact. Let FIGA know the problems your having and they should have some suggestions on how to help.

Second, your contractor is correct in that it is a difficult and delicate task to re-level interior foundations without causing additional damage. That is why such repairs are only utilized in the most extreme scenarios. To do so requires interior underpinining or commonly used helical piers. These are messy and can be destructive but if done by a professional with significant experience and more importantly, a qualified engineer who can monitor and oversee the project, it can be accomplished. Your problem now is finding someone to pay for the repairs as they are very costly. I would start with FIGA and see if you receive any assistance there. It will likely require an updated inspection from a knowledgable structural engineer.
