Photo Album: Foundation Stabilization for Settling Condominiums in Sun City Center, Florida
Members of a condominium association in Sun City Center, Florida, noticed multiple cracks in the walls of two of the property’s units and sought professional assistance. Patricia, a member of the association, scheduled a free inspection with LRE Foundation Repair to assess the situation. One of our expert Design Specialists conducted a thorough inspection and discovered that the soil beneath the condo units had settled, leading to foundation instability.
To address the issue, our specialist devised a plan to fully stabilize and lift the foundations back to their original position using our helical pier system. With approval from Patricia and the other association members, our team carefully installed each helical pier deep into the soil beneath the units. This process successfully transferred the weight of the buildings to stronger soil layers, stabilizing their foundations.
Upon completion, the cracks in the walls closed, providing the condominium association with the assurance that their foundations are now permanently stabilized.
Stair-step Exterior Wall Cracks
The members of this condominium association noticed several cracks along the exterior walls of two condo units, including stair-step cracks extending from the window frames.
Interior Wall Cracks
Multiple cracks had also appeared along the interior walls of the buildings in several areas, raising concerns about the stability of the foundations.
Helical Pier Installation
The LRE team begins the helical pier installation by using specialized equipment to drive each pier deep into the soil beneath the condo units.
Complete Installation of Helical Piers
The helical piers have been fully installed and securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, delivering durable and permanent stabilization to the condominiums.
Concealing Helical Piers
After completing the helical pier installation, the LRE team conceals each pier by replacing the previously removed soil or concrete, ensuring a seamless and clean appearance.
