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.
Complete Installation of Push Pier System
The push piers have been fully installed and have successfully lifted and stabilized the homeowner's foundation.
Concealing Push Piers
To complete the push pier installation process, the LRE team carefully conceals each push pier with the previously removed soil.
