Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair and Stabilization in Longboat Key, Florida
After the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene, Christopher, a homeowner in Longboat Key, Florida, urgently needed help stabilizing his home’s foundation. Significant soil erosion occurred beneath the back of his property, and the contractor managing his home repairs contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to assist with the foundation stabilization process.
Following a thorough inspection by one of our expert Design Specialists, a plan was created to install helical piers to lift and permanently stabilize the settling foundation. Our team quickly went to work, driving the helical piers deep into stable soil beneath the home to provide the necessary support. Once the piers were in place, the foundation was successfully lifted back to its original position, preventing further settlement and restoring structural integrity.
With the repairs complete, Christopher can rest easy knowing his home’s foundation is secure and permanently protected from future settlement issues.
