Somebody picks up (850) 000-0000 at any hour, and anything you send through the form gets a reply the same working day. Elevation surveys are free right across Bay and Gulf, mileage included, and the findings are written down for you to keep.
Four situations, and they start differently
| Who is involved | Sensible first move |
|---|---|
| A builder, still on the hook | Get the free survey, then go to them with it. Check the warranty and the Chapter 558 notice requirements before spending your own money |
| An engineer, report in hand | Bring it. We price against it rather than re-diagnosing around it |
| An insurer, claim open | Your adjuster decides coverage, not us. Consolidation settlement is typically excluded, and we will not pretend otherwise to make a sale |
| Nobody | Start with the survey. Most calls are this one and most of them end there |
The first row is the one worth dwelling on. Paying a contractor to fix something a builder is contractually obliged to put right is a bad outcome, and it usually happens because the order of operations was never checked.
What is worth having ready
- Roughly when the house was built. On this ground, age is diagnostic in a way it is not elsewhere
- Whether the lot was raised or filled. Even “I think they trucked dirt in” is useful
- When you first noticed it, and whether it has changed since
- Any paperwork — a survey, an engineer's letter, a builder warranty, a competing quote
Turn up with none of it and the survey still happens. Turn up with some of it and we spend the hour on your house instead of on questions.
How to reach us
Telephone: (850) 000-0000, round the clock.
The form: below this section, and you will hear back the same working day.
Coverage: the whole of Bay and Gulf — see the
service areas page for the town list.
You will not find a shopfront address on this site, because there is no shop. The work happens at your property and the paperwork happens wherever the laptop is. Publishing an address to look established would be a claim we could not support, on a site whose entire argument is that claims should be supportable.
What happens next
We book a survey, record relative elevations across the footprint, mark permanent reference points, walk the exterior, and leave you the findings in writing. Nothing is priced before that. Where the result is ambiguous we propose a second survey in three to six months, which is also free.
Before you call
Why do you ask who else is involved?
Because it changes what you should do next. A house under a builder warranty, one with an engineer's report already written, and one where nobody has looked at anything are three different situations, and only the last one starts with us.
My builder is still responsible. Should I call you at all?
Yes, for the survey, and then go to the builder with it. An independent measurement is more useful in that conversation than a description, and Florida's Chapter 558 process has notice requirements you will want to meet before spending your own money.
An engineer has already looked at it.
Then bring the report. We will price against what it says rather than re-diagnosing around it, and where our elevations disagree with it we will show you both rather than quietly picking one.
I have a quote from another company.
Put it in front of us. Every quote on this ground turns on one thing - the pier depth assumed and the rate past it - and we will locate both in their paperwork at no charge. Taking that back to them and staying with them is a perfectly fine outcome.
Nobody is involved and I just want to know.
That is the most common call we get and it is the easiest. A free survey, an hour, and a written statement of what your floor is actually doing. Plenty of people stop there, which is a fine place to stop.
Book a free Panama City elevation survey
Tell us roughly when the house was built and whether the lot was raised or filled before it went up — even “I think they trucked dirt in” is worth knowing. On this ground the age of the house and the history of the pad narrow the answer faster than any description of a crack. Same working day reply.
