FREE FOUNDATION INSPECTION / CENTRAL FLORIDA
Foundation repair
You have a foundation problem, visible changes around the building or questions about previous repairs.
The foundation inspection appointment is free. Any specialist diagnostic work, drainage installation or repair is agreed and priced separately.
What FAS does.
FAS offers a free foundation inspection appointment and provides foundation repair services. Describe the problem and any changes you have noticed, with photos or previous reports if available. We review the concern before proposing repair work and explain what the quote includes. Depending on what the inspection finds, FAS repair options include structural polyurethane injection to fill voids beneath a slab or lift settled slab sections, helical piers, push piers, crawlspace floor supports and jacks, and crawlspace encapsulation. Any specialist diagnostic work or repair is agreed and priced separately. Where drainage is part of the recommendation, it is listed clearly. A repair decision depends on the actual conditions, not a diagnosis from a photograph alone.
What we check.
- What has changed, when it began and the areas affected.
- Whether the home sits on a slab or has a crawlspace.
- Previous inspection reports, repair records and photographs.
- The assessment needed and any related drainage work.
What happens next.
- Request a free foundation inspection and tell us about the problem and any previous repairs.
- Martha from FAS calls to confirm the appointment. FAS inspects, then explains the findings and any proposed repair.
- Approve the verified work and price before installation scheduling.
Common questions.
Is the foundation inspection appointment free?
Yes. You can request a free foundation inspection directly. Any specialist diagnostic work or repair is agreed and priced separately.
Can you tell me the repair from a photo?
A photo helps explain the concern. The actual conditions need an appropriate assessment before deciding on repair work.
Is drainage included with foundation repair?
Only when it is part of the approved proposal. The quote identifies the repair and any related drainage separately.
Which foundation repairs does FAS provide?
Depending on the inspection, options include structural polyurethane injection to fill voids beneath a slab or lift settled slab sections, helical piers, push piers, crawlspace floor supports and jacks, and crawlspace encapsulation. The inspection shows which approach, if any, suits the conditions, and the proposal explains the recommended method and price.

FOR YOUR CONVERSATION WITH FAS
Your observation notes.
Stair-step cracks in brick or block
Note which wall has the crack and whether it follows the joints between blocks or bricks.
Ask FAS: What should be checked around this wall and the ground beside it?
Cracks across tile or slab floors
Photograph the full route of the crack, including where it crosses into another room.
Ask FAS: Is the visible crack in the floor finish, the slab beneath it, or both?
A visibly wide or open crack
Include a ruler in a clear photo and record the location. The drawing exaggerates width to make it visible.
Ask FAS: What measurements would help you assess this opening?
A crack that has changed over time
Compare dated photos of the same spot. Note when you first noticed a change.
Ask FAS: What can the timing and pattern of this change tell you?
Doors or windows that stick
Record which openings stick, whether they latch, and when you first noticed it.
Ask FAS: What should be checked to understand why this opening no longer works smoothly?
Sloping or bouncy floors
Note where the floor feels uneven or moves underfoot, and whether the home has raised floors.
Ask FAS: What would you inspect beneath or around this part of the floor?
Gaps where walls meet floors or ceilings
Photograph the joint and enough of the room to show its location.
Ask FAS: What measurements and nearby details would help explain this gap?
Cracks at door or window corners
Capture the whole opening and a close-up of the crack. Note any similar cracks nearby.
Ask FAS: What other observations should be compared with this crack?
