Photo Album: Sinking Foundation Solution in Oxford, FL
Kenneth H. in Oxford, FL, had noticed some settlement occurring with the foundation of the home his mother lived in. Wanting to make sure the house was safe and secure, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair after learning about our foundation repair services. One of our expert Design Specialists visited the residence and performed a full home inspection. Upon finding stair-step cracking patterns along the outside walls, the specialist was able to confirm that soil settlement had occurred and that the home needed to be stabilized. Our foundation helical pier system was recommended to lift and stabilize the settling portion of the home. The homeowner opted for this solution, and the LRE team went to work installing the helical piers, successfully lifting and stabilizing the home’s foundation. Kenneth was delighted with the outcome and felt a sense of relief, knowing that his mother's home was now safe and secure.
Stair Step Wall Cracks
Stair step cracking within a home's walls is a very clear indication of foundation settlement.
Helical Pier Installation
Once the precise location is identified and the soil is excavated, the helical piers are mechanically driven into the soil beneath the foundation.
Helical Pier Foundation Support
Once the piers have reached proper depths and competent soils, the LRE team will place robust steel brackets beneath and against the foundation footing to ensure both lift and stability.
Helical Pier Concealment
Once the helical piers are in place and the foundation stable, the soil is put back to hide them and create a clean, seamless look.
