Hairline Cracks on Home's Surface
Lots of very fine, hairline cracks were forming all over the exterior of this home, causing great concern for the homeowner. These cracks indicate a much larger problem is brewing and this homeowner tackled it just in time.
Helical Pier Installation Process
LRE got to work installing helical piers along the side of this home to stabilize it. Shifting soils had caused major settlement, and helical piers are the perfect solution to restore this home's foundation onto solid ground.
Helical Pier Drilled Into Soil
Helical piers are galvanized steel posts that look like giant screws. As they are drilled into the ground, they create the perfect compaction for loose soils and offer the load-bearing capacity that heavy foundations need.
Installed Helical Pier in the Ground
Once these piers have been drilled as far as they can go, and reaching the right amount of torque, they are left in the ground and affixed to the foundation, offering a permanent solution for foundation stabilization needs.
Mounting Bracket Affixed to Home
A mounting bracket is welded to the top of each pier and then permanently attached to the home's footer. All of these items are buried underground once the job is complete, leaving nothing more than a home with a solid foundation in place.
Worksite Cleaned Up
Installing helical piers is a meticulous process that LRE Foundation Repair has mastered over the years. Once a home has been remediated with this system, it is not only secure and safe for years to come, but no one is the wiser that this type of work has been completed to the property.
