Photo Album: Foundation Cracks Repaired in Orlando, FL

Jeffrey H. has been living in his home in Orlando, Florida for a while now, but due to health restrictions, he has been unable to maintain all areas of the property. Recently, he noticed cracks forming around the exterior walls and decided to contact LRE Foundation Repair to investigate any underlying issues. LRE conducted a thorough inspection of the entire house and discovered that soil conditions were the root cause of the settlement. To fix the problem, LRE developed a customized solution that involved using PolyLevel and helical pier installation. PolyLevel, a foam material that expands, was injected into specific locations of the concrete deck and around the perimeter of the house. This material filled any voids and reinforced the underlying soil. Helical piers, which are galvanized steel support piers drilled into the ground until proper compaction is achieved, were then installed and secured to the home's footer. These piers were buried beneath the soil, making them a permanent part of the home's foundation. After the project was completed, Jeffrey could have peace of mind knowing that his home was stabilized for years to come.

Cracks on Stucco Wall

This home had settlement cracks on the outside walls which needed repair. But before the stucco repairs, LRE fixed the foundation problems.

Soil Stabilization

LRE injected PolyLevel, an expanding polymer foam material, under the concrete slab to stabilize loose soils and fill in voids from washout.

Voids Filled and Soils Stabilized

PolyLevel is a material used to stabilize soil beneath structures due to its ability to flow underground, expand, and harden, creating a stable base.

Helical Pier Installed Around Deck

LRE's equipment is small enough to reach tight spaces like around this pool deck. Helical piers are installed for added stability to the foundation.

Helical Pier Bracket

Helical piers are drilled deep into the soil until it reaches the desired level of compaction. After this, the pier is permanently connected to the footer of the home using a bracket. Once the installation is complete, all materials are buried underground and left unnoticeable

Support Piers Installed Around Home

Additional helical piers, or support piers, are installed at various locations around the home as needed. Once in place, the home's foundation is stable and secure for years to come.
