We own a CBS house built on a concrete slab foundation in Fort Pierce. There are some cracks in the interior ceramic floor tiles that may indicate a problem with the slab. We want an inspection to determine whether there is such a problem and if so, a quote for repair. Are there any good foundation repair companies in St Lucie or Indian River counties, preferably that give free estimates?

Most companies give free estimates- it's part of their job.

Most of the time cracks in the foundation are settling cracks as the house gets older. Lots of time we see them in garages because the foundation is not covered. If a few of your tiles are popping it could just be they need resetting. It could also be something more especially if the cracks aren't small.

I would think, and have seen, other cracks in the house if your foundation has a real problem. If it moves, so does the rest of your house.

An interesting thing I learned recently from a home inspector is that the lack of gutters on a house could exacerbate foundation cracking. He said the rainwater coming off the roof will cause perimeter erosion around the house and may cause the foundation to bow and develop major cracking. It does make sense to me.
I know were not talking about gutters here but just thought I'd bring up that point because we are discussing foundation cracks.
