Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Sunrise, Florida
Ivania, from Sunrise, Florida, became concerned after noticing numerous cracks throughout her home’s walls, including the ceiling and exterior walls. Worried about the stability of her home, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
Upon conducting a thorough inspection, our specialist confirmed that soil settlement beneath the house had caused foundation instability, leading to the cracks in the walls and ceiling. To fully stabilize the home and prevent further damage, we developed a comprehensive plan to install our push pier system beneath the affected areas of the foundation.
With Ivania’s approval, our team carefully installed each pier deep into the ground until reaching solid bedrock. From there, the team successfully transferred the weight of the home to the load-bearing bedrock, providing the foundation with permanent stability. Now, Ivania can rest assured that her home is fully secured and stabilized.
Stair-step Wall Cracks
The homeowner noticed stair-step cracking patterns along the exterior walls of their home, a common indicator of settlement damage.
Cracks Extending from Window Frame
Cracks had developed in the corners of the home's window frames due to the shifting of the foundation caused by the settling of the underlying soil.
Ceiling Cracks
Another common indicator of foundation settlement is the emergence of cracks in the ceiling inside a home.
Push Pier Installation
The LRE team initiates the foundation repair process by installing push piers beneath the affected areas of the home's foundation.
Complete Push Pier Installation
The push piers have been fully installed and securely bracketed against and beneath the foundation's footer, providing the home with permanent stabilization.
Concealing Push Piers
After the push pier system has been completely installed, the LRE team conceals each pier with the previously removed soil to create a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
