Photo Album: House Stabilized in Tampa, Florida

John L., a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, was alarmed by cracks appearing in both his interior walls and exterior stucco, signaling foundation issues. John contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and one of our Design Specialists assessed the property. It was clear that loose and unstable soil conditions were causing the problem. We recommended installing helical piers, a proven method for stabilizing foundations and preventing further settlement damage. Our production team installed the piers around the exterior of the foundation, effectively transferring the home's weight to load-bearing soil and addressing the instability. The installation was done with precision, providing a long-lasting solution to the foundation issues. John was very pleased with the results, enjoying the restored safety of his home and the peace of mind that came with it.

Interior Wall Cracks

One of the tell-tale signs of foundation settlement are cracks in walls, ceilings or floors.

Exterior Stucco Wall Cracks

This Tampa, Florida home suffered from severe settlement, with cracks showing up on just about every wall.

Cracks Around Windows

Upon a thorough inspection to the property, our Design Specialist notated every piece of damage and designed the perfect solution for the home consisting of the installation of helical piers.

Careful Measurements and Design

The entire home, to include the foundation and footer, are measured to ensure the proper placement of each helical pier.

Helical Pier Installation

Small construction equipment is used to get into the smallest spaces and install the pier next to the foundation.

Piers Installed Around Property

Helicals are drilled into the ground like an auger which compacts loose and unstable soils to make them load bearing once more.

Helical Pier Attached to Home

Once all piers are drilled to the appropriate depth and soil stabilization is achieved, each pier is attached to the home's footer, becoming a permanent fixture that creates a life-long solution.

Piers Buried Underground

All work is buried underground once the job is complete. The helical piers are permanently attached to the home, adding the stability needed for this home to stop settling and cracking.
