Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Grand Island, Florida

Stephen from Grand Island, Florida, had been living in his home for a few years when he started noticing cracks in the walls and ceiling that were gradually worsening. As he prepared to sell his home, he wanted to ensure these issues were properly addressed and the foundation was secure. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and we sent one of our senior Design Specialists to inspect the home and diagnose the problem. During the inspection, the specialist discovered significant soil erosion beneath the foundation, which had caused it to settle. To resolve the issue, we developed a comprehensive plan to permanently stabilize Stephen's home and lift it back into its proper position using our helical pier system. Our team carefully installed each pier deep into the ground around the affected areas of the foundation, successfully stabilizing the home. With the foundation now permanently stabilized, Stephen can now confidently place his home on the market, knowing that the new homeowners will have a safe and secure place to call home.
