Stair-step Wall Cracks
The homeowner became alarmed when they noticed stair-step cracking patterns appearing on the exterior walls of the home, a common symptom of foundation settlement.
Preparing Helical Pier Installation
The LRE team begins the helical pier installation process by first excavating the soil at the designated installation locations.
Installing Helical Piers
The helical piers are mechanically driven deep into the soil below the foundation until competent soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
Once the piers reach the stronger soil layers, they are secured against the foundation, transferring the weight of the home to the load-bearing soil layers. This process permanently stabilizes the foundation and lifts it back into its proper position.
Concealing Helical Piers
After the helical piers are fully installed and the home's foundation is stabilized, the LRE team carefully covers the piers with the previously removed soil to ensure a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
