Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Coral Springs, Florida
In Coral Springs, Florida, Erin had noticed numerous cracks in the walls of her home, leading her to suspect her foundation may have settled. She planned on having renovations on her home and needed to make sure the foundation was stabilized. After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we scheduled a free inspection for her with one of our Design Specialists. Upon assessing the damage, our specialist confirmed for Erin that the foundation had suffered from settlement damage due to the instability of the underlying soil. To fully stabilize and lift the foundation back into its proper position, our team employed our push pier system to anchor the weight of the home to solid bedrock deep below the surface. After each pier was carefully installed, our team successfully lifted the foundation and effectively closed the cracks in the walls. Erin’s foundation is now permanently stabilized, allowing her to proceed with her home’s renovations with peace of mind.
Stair-step Wall Cracks
The presence of diagonal cracks, commonly known as stair-step cracking, along the exterior walls indicated significant foundation settlement.
Horizontal Wall Cracks
The homeowner had noticed horizontal cracks along the base of the exterior walls, indicating that the foundation had settled.
Sinking Floors
The homeowner was alarmed by the gaps forming between the floors and walls due to the foundation settling.
Installing Push Piers
The LRE team installs push piers by driving them deep into the soil until solid bedrock is reached. Once in place, the piers are securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, transferring the weight of the home to the stable bedrock.
