Foundation Repair Photo Album: Repairing and Stabilizing Settling Foundation in Sarasota, Florida
John from Sarasota, Florida, became concerned when he noticed multiple cracks forming in the walls throughout his home. Seeking answers, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a full home inspection, and we promptly scheduled a free appointment with one of our expert Design Specialists.
After a thorough evaluation, our specialist determined that significant soil settlement had caused the foundation to shift, leading to structural damage. To address the issue, we developed a plan to install our helical pier system beneath the affected areas, providing permanent stabilization and restoring the foundation to its proper position.
With John’s approval, our team carefully installed each helical pier deep into the ground, successfully transferring the home’s weight to more stable soil layers below. Now, John no longer has to worry about further settlement damage, as his home’s foundation is permanently secured.

Once the piers reach the appropriate depth, they are securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, effectively transferring the home's weight to more stable soil layers and ensuring permanent foundation stability.
Concealing Helical Piers
After the helical piers have been successfully installed, the LRE team conceals each pier with the previously excavated soil.
