Photo Album: Foundation Repair in West Palm Beach, Florida
In West Palm Beach, Florida, Susan noticed large cracks forming in the walls around her garage, suggesting potential foundation settlement. Preparing to sell her home, she wanted to address the issue before listing it on the market. Susan contacted LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. After a thorough assessment, the specialist confirmed that the garage’s foundation had settled due to unstable soil conditions. To resolve the issue, a plan was developed to stabilize and lift the foundation using our push pier system.
With Susan’s approval, our team installed push piers deep into the ground beneath the garage, anchoring them to solid, load-bearing bedrock. The weight of the garage was then transferred through the piers to the solid bedrock, effectively lifting the structure back into position and permanently stabilizing the foundation. Susan can now confidently move forward with selling her home, knowing the garage’s foundation is permanently secure.

Push Pier Installation
The LRE team begins installing each push pier deep into the soil beneath the foundation until solid bedrock is reached.
Securing Push Pier Bracket
Once the push piers reach the required depth, they are securely bracketed to the foundation's footer.
Complete Push Pier Installation

Once the push piers are successfully installed and the foundation is stabilized, the LRE team carefully covers each pier with the previously removed soil, ensuring a clean and seamless appearance.
