Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Oakland Park, Florida
Mark from Oakland Park, Florida, noticed an increasing number of hairline cracks appearing in the walls of several areas in his home, which raised concerns about potential instability in his home's foundation. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists for a full home inspection.
During the inspection, our specialist confirmed that the soil beneath the home had settled, compromising the foundation’s stability and causing the walls to crack. To address the issue, our specialist developed a comprehensive plan to permanently stabilize Mark’s foundation using our push pier system. Mark approved the plan, and our team began installing each push pier deep into the soil beneath the affected foundation areas until solid bedrock was reached. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation's footer, transferring the home's weight to the load-bearing bedrock below.
With Mark's foundation now permanently stabilized, he can enjoy lasting peace of mind for many years to come.
Exterior Wall Cracks
Although they may seem minor at first, hairline cracks along the exterior walls of a home can be a clear sign that foundation settlement has occurred.
Window Frame Wall Cracks
Cracks extending from the corners of window frames often indicate that the home's foundation has shifted due to the settlement of the soil beneath it.
Push Pier Installation Preparation
The LRE team begins the push pier installation process by excavating the soil around the foundation to expose the foundation's footer.
Installing Push Piers
The LRE team begins driving each push pier deep beneath the ground until solid bedrock is reached.
Complete Push Pier Installation
The push piers have successfully reached the appropriate depths and have been bracketed to the foundation's footer, effectively transferring the weight of the home to the solid bedrock below.
Concealing Push Piers
Once the foundation has been stabilized with the push pier system, the LRE team carefully covers each pier with the previously removed soil, restoring a seamless appearance.
