Photo Album: Foundation Repair and Stabilization in Largo, Florida
Michael was planning to sell his home in Largo, Florida, but he knew he couldn’t place it on the market until the home’s foundation issues were addressed. Several cracks had appeared in the walls on the back side of the home, clearly indicating that the foundation was unstable. He contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists. Upon close examination, our specialist confirmed that the back side of the home had settled due to instability in the underlying soil.
A plan was developed to completely and permanently stabilize the foundation using our helical pier system. With Michael’s approval, our team carefully installed each pier beneath the affected side of the foundation, eventually stabilizing and lifting it back to its proper position. With the wall cracks now closed and the foundation fully stabilized, Michael can confidently list his home for sale, assured that it is now permanently secure.
Stair-Step Wall Cracks
Stair-step cracks had formed in the exterior walls of the home, leading the homeowner to seek professional assistance for a reliable repair solution.
Cracks Beneath Window Frame
Cracks in the exterior walls extending from a home's window frames are a common indicator of foundation settlement.
Helical Pier Installation
The LRE team installs each helical pier deep into the ground beneath the home's foundation, continuing until they reach stable, load-bearing soil layers.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers are fully installed and securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, providing durable and permanent stabilization by transferring the home's weight to the stronger soil layers deep below the surface.
Wall Cracks Closed and Helical Piers Concealed
Following the complete installation of the helical pier system, the cracks in the home's walls are now closed and the piers are concealed with the previously removed soil.
