Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing Settling Foundation in Fort Myers, Florida

Christina in Fort Myers, Florida, had noticed cracks gradually appearing in the exterior walls of one side of her home. Concerned that the issue may worsen, she contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair for help, and we promptly scheduled a free inspection for her with one of our expert Design Specialists. Upon close examination, the specialist confirmed that unstable soil below the foundation had caused it to begin settling, and if not addressed soon, further damage was likely to occur. A comprehensive plan was created to permanently stabilize the affected side of the foundation with our helical pier system. After reviewing the plan with Christina, our team went to work executing this plan by installing the helical piers deep below the foundation until stronger soil layers were reached. From here, the weight of the home was then transferred through the piers into the competent soils, effectively stabilizing the foundation and lifting it back into its proper position. With this solution in place, Christina can enjoy peace of mind knowing that her home is now permanently secured.
