Photo Album: Structural Foundation Repair in Winter Garden, FL
Shirley S. from Winter Garden, Florida had noticed some expanding cracks in her brick porch. The concrete steps were starting to pull away from the porch, leaving her worried about the condition of her foundation. She contacted LRE Foundation Repair to find a solution. LRE inspected the property and determined that helical pier installation would be the best option to permanently fix the problems. Helical piers are made of galvanized steel posts and are drilled into the ground around the perimeter of the home. As the piers are drilled, they work to solidify loose soils and provide stabilization for the foundation. Once the piers are in place, they are attached with a bracket to the footer of the home, becoming a permanent fixture. The pier system carefully lifted the concrete back into place and closed the large gaps that had formed. After the project was complete, the homeowner was relieved that her porch and foundation were stabilized for good, providing her with the peace of mind she was hoping for.
