Stair-step Wall Cracks
The homeowner became alarmed when they noticed stair-step cracking patterns emerging from the window frame in the exterior wall of the home.
Horizontal Wall Cracks
A common symptom of a foundation with settlement issues is the appearance of horizontal cracking patterns along the walls of the home.
Settling Floors
A concerning sight for the homeowner was observing the clear separation of the interior floors from the adjacent walls, an obvious sign that the home's foundation had settled.
Excavating Soil for Helical Pier Installation
Once the installation location for each helical pier has been determined, the LRE team begins excavating the appropriate amount of soil for their placement.
Installing Helical Piers
Using specialized equipment, the LRE team begins mechanically driving the helical piers deep into the soil below the foundation until stronger, load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been successfully installed and bracketed to the footer of the foundation, ensuring permanent stabilization against future settlement.
Concealment of Helical Piers
Once the installation is complete, the LRE ensures that the piers are carefully concealed with the previously removed soil to provide a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
