Helical Pier Installation
Helical piers can be placed extremely close to the foundation using small construction equipment with ease of access.
Helical Piers Installed Along Perimeter
Helicals are spaced out evenly along the perimeter of the home, and once attached, adds the stability needed for the foundation experiencing settlement.
Helical Piers in Progress
Helicals are made of galvanized steel which resists corrosion over time. These piers allow the transfer of weight from the unstable ground onto the pier system.
Brackets are Attached to Home
Galvanized, steel brackets attached the pier to the footer of the home. This is a permanent fixture that is buried underground once the project is complete.
Job Site is Cleaned
All work is buried and the job site is cleaned up each day. LRE takes pride in a clean job site and treats every home with care.
Chemical Grout Injection
Chemical grout is the next step in this remediation program and consists of a polymer-based material called PolyLevel.
Expanding PolyLevel
This material expands via a chemical reaction once it reaches the soil. It flows easily as it's injected and the pressure from expansion is measured carefully.
PolyLevel Injection in Progress
PolyLevel is an easy and quick application process that happens through a small gun-like piece of equipment that pumps material through tiny metal pipes and into the ground.
