Stairstep Wall Cracks
The homeowner suspected that the stability of their home's foundation may have been compromised after observing multiple stairstep cracks along the exterior walls.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing each helical pier deep into the soil beneath the foundation until strong, load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
Once the helical piers have reached the appropriate depths, they are bracketed to the foundation's footer, where they will effectively transfer the weight of the home to the competent soil layers below.
Concealing Helical Piers
After the LRE team has installed each helical pier and the foundation has been lifted and stabilized, each pier is carefully concealed with the previously removed soil.
Wall Cracks Closed
The stairstep cracks in the exterior walls are gradually closed as the LRE team carefully lifts the foundation back into its proper position.
