Exterior Wall Cracks
The homeowner knew that his home's addition had experienced settlement damage when vertical cracks appeared on the exterior walls.

Excavating Soil to Prepare for Push Pier Installation
The LRE team initiates the foundation stabilization process by first removing soil to prepare for the installation of the push pier system.
Installing Push Piers
The push piers are carefully driven deep into the soil below the foundation until solid bedrock is reached.
Complete Push Pier Installation
Once the push piers reach the solid, load-bearing bedrock, they are secured to the foundation with brackets to provide the necessary stabilization.
Complete Foundation Stabilization
All of the push piers have been successfully installed and are now permanently supporting the foundation. From here, the LRE team will conceal the piers with the previously removed soil to provide a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
