Why Nassauville homes need this, and how we do it
Nassauville is a low Nassau River community on SR-107 southwest of Fernandina, where homes sit on soft marsh-edge ground that never dries far below the surface. Ground like that does not carry a house evenly, so the supports press into it at different rates and the floor above starts to slope. The first signs here are a door that begins to bind and a floor you can feel fall away as you cross a room.
We map elevations across the whole floor before we lift, so we read exactly which sections settled and by how much. The lift is controlled and gradual, with piers under the footing and steel jacks and beams under the interior supports. On soft, river-adjacent ground we drive the piers past the wet surface soil to a layer that holds, so the corrected supports rest below the ground that let them settle in the first place.
Because the lift comes up slowly, the settlement cracks close and the binding doors and windows free up without harming the trim. The written target is honest: the home brought back toward level with the openings working again. Drying the crawl space and managing water around the house keep the corrected supports from settling into wet ground a second time. You get the mapped elevations, a clear plan, and a fixed price at the free inspection.
What’s included
What a leveling project includes
Every foundation leveling we do in Nassauville, FL follows the same checklist. The survey drives every decision that follows it. A typical leveling scope includes:
- Full elevation survey across every room, with a written benchmark
- Cause diagnosis - settled foundation, failed interior supports, or both
- New poured footings sized to the load and the soil
- Adjustable steel jacks and supplemental beams where support failed
- Piers under any section where the foundation itself has settled
- A staged lift, monitored and re-measured between increments
- Before and after elevation readings, plus photo documentation
What we won’t do
We will not promise a perfectly level floor in a house that was built out of level, we will not lift fast enough to crack your finishes, and we will not jack up the middle of a house without dealing with whatever made it drop in the first place.
What to expect
Four steps, start to finish
Free inspection & survey
We shoot elevations in every room, map the slope, and work out exactly what dropped and why it dropped.
Written plan & price
You get target elevations, the support plan, an honest expectation of the finished result, and one fixed price.
Support & staged lift
Footings, jacks, beams and piers go in, then the house comes up in small, measured increments we re-check as we go.
Re-survey & warranty
We read every elevation again with you, compare it to the starting survey, and hand over the warranty in writing.

Questions Nassauville homeowners ask us
My Nassauville home is near the river on marsh-edge soft ground and the floor slopes, can you level it?
Yes, the soft river-adjacent soil lets supports settle, which slopes the floor over time. We map elevations across the whole floor, then lift the low areas slowly back toward a written target.
Why does my floor feel lower toward the side nearest the river?
The supports on the river side sit in the softest, dampest soil and settle the most. We measure the floor, do a controlled gradual lift on that side, and re-shim so it comes back toward level.
My doors have started dragging, is the floor settling into the soft river-edge soil?
When supports settle into soft marsh-edge soil the frame drops and doors drag. We map the low areas, lift them slowly on piers and jacks, and re-shim so the doors clear again.
Can you re-level a home this close to the river in Nassauville?
We can, and we map the whole floor first so we lift only where the soft soil let it settle. The raise is slow and controlled toward a realistic written target so doors and trim work again.
One part of my floor feels like it keeps slowly sinking, what's happening under there?
The supports under that area are settling into the soft river-adjacent soil a little at a time. We map the elevations, lift that spot gradually, and re-shim to bring it back toward level.
“Our floors had gotten soft and the whole downstairs smelled musty. They inspected the crawl space, showed us photos of the rot and moisture, and fully encapsulated it. The smell is gone, the floors feel solid, and our humidity finally stays under control.”
