Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Lutz, Florida
Rosemary in Lutz, Florida, had an addition to her home that appeared to be separating from the main structure, with visible gaps in the seams and multiple cracks forming in the walls. Concerned with the problem worsening, she reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and we quickly scheduled a free inspection for her with one of our Design Specialists. After carefully assessing the damage, our specialist informed Rosemary that the soil beneath the foundation of the addition had settled, creating a lack of stability. To resolve the issue, a customized plan was developed to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation using our helical pier system. Our team installed each pier deep into stable soil beneath the foundation, successfully restoring the structure’s stability. Rosemary now has peace of mind knowing her addition is fully and permanently protected against future settlement damage.
Exterior Wall Crack
Large vertical cracks had formed in the exterior walls of the homeowner's addition, raising concerns about the foundation's stability.
Seam Seperation
The seam between the addition and the rest of the home had developed noticeable gaps, indicating that the foundation was settling.
Ceiling Gaps
Gaps in the ceiling of the addition were another clear sign for the homeowner that the foundation of the addition had settled.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing helical piers deep into the soil beneath the foundation.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
Once the helical piers reach the appropriate depth, they are secured with brackets to the foundation's footer, transferring the weight of the structure to the stable soil layers below.
