Settling Pool Deck Footer
The homeowner knew there was an issue with the foundation of his home's pool deck when he observed the footer gradually sinking over time.
Pool Deck Settlement Measurements
A close look at the difference in the level of this section of the pool deck clearly indicates that soil settlement has occurred.
Helical Pier Installation Preparation
The LRE team initiates the first step of the helical pier installation process by first excavating the appropriate amount of soil for each pier.
Foundation Footer Crack
Upon excavating the soil around the pool deck's foundation, cracks were discovered on the exterior of the footer, further confirming that soil settlement had occurred.
Installation of Helical Piers
With the soil now removed, the LRE team uses specialized equipment to carefully drive the helical piers deep into the earth below the foundation until competent, stable soils are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been successfully installed and bracketed below and to the side of the footing of the pool deck's foundation. At this point, the helical piers have successfully lifted the foundation back to its proper position and provided permanent stabilization.
Concealment of Helical Piers
The final and crucial step of the foundation stabilization process involves the LRE team concealing the piers and cleaning up the worksite to ensure a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
