Disclaimer
Limits on the foundation information published by Pensacola Foundation Co., including geological, insurance and cost statements.
General information only
Everything here is general information about foundation repair on this coast. It is not an engineering opinion, a geotechnical assessment, or advice about a specific property.
Sinkholes and subsurface geology
We do not investigate below the soil and do not certify the presence or absence of sinkhole activity. Statements distinguishing washout from sinkhole activity describe general patterns. A determination for a particular property requires a geotechnical engineer or professional geologist.
Insurance references
Statements about catastrophic ground cover collapse and sinkhole coverage reference Fla. Stat. § 627.706 as published by the Florida Senate, described in general terms. Policy language, endorsements and deductibles vary. This is not insurance or legal advice; read your policy and speak to your agent.
Climate and event figures
Annual precipitation references the NOAA/NCEI 1991–2020 annual normal for station USW00013899, Pensacola Regional Airport. The 29 April 2014 rainfall figures reference National Weather Service records and contemporaneous reporting.
Cost figures
Ranges reference regional contractor pricing and are illustrative rather than quotations. Void filling volumes in particular cannot be known exactly before work begins, which is why scopes state assumptions and overage rates.
No guarantee of outcome
Repair addresses conditions present at the time of the work. Ground behaviour can change and no repair guarantees that no further movement will occur. Warranty terms, where offered, appear in the written scope and are the only commitments that apply.
