Stop the water
The cause, and the cheapest item here. Erosion control interrupts the flow that is carrying sand off the property. Skip it and everything else on this page gets bought again, which is why it is in nearly every scope we write.
Fill what has gone
Void filling and grouting replaces material that has physically left. This is the line most quotes here leave out, because it is harder to itemise than a pier count — and it is the reason a piered house can crack again along a line nobody addressed.
Support what has moved
Piering and slab repair take load down past unreliable ground where the structure has genuinely dropped. Necessary and durable — and not a substitute for either of the other two.
Void Filling & Grouting
When the ground has gone rather than shifted, the hole is the problem and steel alone will not solve it.
Foundation Piering
Carrying load down past material that keeps washing to something that will not.
Slab Foundation Repair
A slab spanning a washout cavity is a bridge nobody designed as one.
Erosion Control & Drainage
On clay you manage moisture. On sand you stop the property physically leaving.
Concrete Leveling
Flatwork drops into the same cavities the house does, and usually announces them first.
Sinkhole or Washout?
Almost always the second one — and the difference decides both the repair and the claim.
Florida Sinkhole Coverage
Mandatory collapse cover exists. It requires your house to be condemned first.
Storm Damage
Fifteen and a half inches in one day, in 2014. This coast moves ground in events.

Every class priced, and the support-versus-fill split most quotes here leave implicit.
Which service fixes which problem
| What you are seeing | What it means | The work | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor sounds hollow, nothing has dropped yet | Cavity forming | Fill, now | $2,000–$9,000 |
| A section has dropped and stayed down | Support lost | Piering | $4,000–$15,000 |
| Crack appeared after a storm, never closed | Washout, spanning | Slab repair | $3,500–$12,000 |
| Scour, gullies, sand fans on the lot | Active flow | Erosion control | $1,500–$6,000 |
| Driveway dropping, house sound | Cavity found early | Leveling | $500–$2,500 |
| Circular depression, no water explanation | Not our call | Geotechnical opinion | Referred out |
The order that costs least
Water, fill, support, cosmetics. Reverse it and the classic Pensacola outcome is a cavity filled neatly while the flow that made it keeps running, which buys a season or two. Every scope we write prices the water alongside the structure rather than as an optional extra. Full pricing on the cost guide.
Service questions
Which of these do I need?
Usually more than one, and that is the point. Stopping the water is nearly always in scope because it is the cause. Filling applies where material has gone. Support applies where the structure has actually moved. A quote naming only one of the three has described part of the job.
Can I do it in stages?
Sensibly, yes, and the order matters. Water first, because everything else gets undone without it. Fill second, because a cavity found before the slab drops is much cheaper than after. Support where readings show real movement. Cosmetics last.
Do you ever say nothing needs doing?
Yes. A house with no hollow areas, no gap at the slab edge, and cracking that predates anything anyone can date is often a house to leave alone and re-check. The assessment is free, so that answer costs you nothing to obtain.
Book a free Pensacola foundation assessment
The most useful thing you can tell us is when it started, and whether anything happened around then — a named storm, a week of hard rain, a broken line, a neighbour regrading their lot. On sand, damage follows events rather than seasons, so a date is worth more here than a description. We reply the same working day.
