Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Plant City, Florida
After a tree fell on Daniela’s home in Plant City, Florida, and damaged her roof, she noticed numerous cracks along the exterior walls, signifying a more serious issue. Fearing that her foundation may be compromised, she reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. Following a full home inspection conducted by one of our expert Design Specialists, it was discovered that the foundation had settled due to the underlying soil becoming unstable. A plan was created by our specialist to permanently stabilize the foundation with our helical pier system. Daniela approved this plan and our team soon began installing each pier deep below the foundation, successfully transferring the weight of the home to stronger soil layers and providing the needed stabilization. Daniela’s foundation is fully stabilized, providing her and her family peace of mind knowing their home is permanently secure.
