Photo Album: Stabilizing Settling Home in Lorida, Florida

Patrick, who had recently inherited his home in Lorida, Florida, became concerned upon noticing substantial cracking in both the interior and exterior walls. A Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair visited Patrick’s home to conduct a thorough inspection of the foundation. The specialist discovered that a section of the home had settled into the ground and devised a plan to elevate and stabilize the sinking foundation using the helical pier system. Following the installation of the helical piers by the LRE team, Patrick can now reside in his newly inherited home with a sense of security and peace of mind, knowing that the foundation has been successfully stabilized.

Stair-step Cracking

Stair-step cracks in exterior block walls are clear indicators of foundation settlement.

Indoor Ceiling Cracks

The appearance of cracks in a home's ceilings is one of the most noticeable indicators of foundation problems.

Door Frame Cracking

Cracks around window and door frames are a common indication of foundation settlement issues.

Helical Pier Installation

After the LRE team removes the soil from the designated area, the helical piers are mechanically driven into the ground below the foundation until the appropriate depths and capacities are reached.
