Contributing to the Health of Foundations in Lehigh Acres
APD Foundation Repair proudly serves the Lehigh Acres community, addressing the unique foundation challenges posed by its sandy soil, organic material, and clay layers. Our expertise extends to navigating the complexities of marl soil and the subtropical climate, ensuring homes withstand the rigors of hurricanes, tropical storms, and the issues of hydrostatic pressure and flash flooding.

Causes of Foundation Damage in Lehigh Acres
Expansive Soil Movement
Lehigh Acres is characterized by its sandy soil mixed with organic materials and clay, which can expand and contract significantly with moisture changes. This leads to uneven soil expansion or shrinkage, applying uneven pressure on foundations.
Frequent Storms and Heavy Rainfall
The area is prone to frequent thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, especially during the hurricane season, which can saturate the ground around foundations. This saturation increases hydrostatic pressure that can cause cracking and shifting of foundation structures.

The area is prone to frequent thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, especially during the hurricane season, which can saturate the ground around foundations. This saturation increases hydrostatic pressure that can cause cracking and shifting of foundation structures.
Invasive Tree Roots
Local vegetation, including large Florida oaks and palms, can have invasive root systems that grow towards foundations in search of moisture. These roots can cause physical pressure on foundations and create pathways for water to undermine structural integrity.
Substandard Construction Practices
In the rush to develop Lehigh Acres, some homes were built on inadequately compacted soil or without proper consideration for local environmental factors. This has led to foundations settling or failing prematurely due to the ground shifting beneath them.
Environmental Erosion
The combination of Lehigh Acres’ sandy soil and frequent, heavy rains contributes to soil erosion around foundation areas. This erosion can remove the necessary support for foundations, leading to settling, cracking, or even collapse.
