Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization in West Melbourne, FL

Sandra G. has lived in her West Melbourne, Florida home for many years and recently started noticing cracks opening up on her exterior walls. The cracks became more visible as weeks went on and she became worried there was a problem, she called LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE completed an inspection of the home and designed a solution that would eliminate the loose, shifting soils this home was experiencing. LRE coupled helical pier installation with its PolyLevel foam injection to strengthen and stabilize the soils beneath the home, eliminating future damage. First, galvanized steel piers with helical plates were drilled into the ground at designated areas and attached to the home with galvanized steel brackets. This system compacts loose soils and allows weight transfer from the ground to the pier. Next, PolyLevel was injected into the soils which expand on contact to fill voids and gaps as well as create additional stability. Upon completion of the project, the homeowner was thrilled her home was safe from further damage and happy with the clean job site.
