Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Cocoa, Florida
In Cocoa, Florida, Marc contacted LRE Foundation Repair with concerns about cracks that had appeared in his home's walls and requested an inspection of the foundation. One of our expert Design Specialists carefully examined the damage and confirmed that the foundation had settled. A plan was created to permanently stabilize the foundation by utilizing our helical pier system. After reviewing the plan with Marc, our team promptly began installing the helical piers deep into the ground beneath his home, driving them down until they reached stable, load-bearing soil layers. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation’s footer, where they then transferred the weight of the home to the stronger soil layers. Upon completion, Marc’s home is now permanently stabilized, alleviating his concerns about his home’s security.
