Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Wesley Chapel, Florida
Stephanie from Wesley Chapel, Florida, began noticing stair-step cracks forming in the walls of her garage and front bedroom—classic signs of foundation settlement. With plans to sell her home in the future, she wanted to ensure it was properly repaired and stabilized before putting it on the market.
After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection, we sent our expert Design Specialist to assess the damage and help provide an effective repair solution. Our specialist verified for Stephanie that the underlying soil beneath the affected area of the home had settled, causing the foundation to shift. To resolve the issue, we proposed a customized repair plan using our proven helical pier system.
With Stephanie’s approval, our team installed each helical pier deep into the ground until they reached stable, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, effectively transferring the weight of the home and halting further settlement.
Once the project was complete, Stephanie was relieved to know her foundation was fully stabilized—giving her peace of mind and increasing the value of her home as she prepares to sell.
Garage Wall Stair-step Cracks
The homeowner suspected an issue with their home's foundation when they noticed stair-step pattern cracks along the interior walls of their garage.
Exterior Stair-step Wall Cracks
Stair-step cracks along the exterior walls of a home are a common indication that the foundation has shifted and settled.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins the foundation repair process by first excavating soil around the affected areas of the home and mechanically driving each helical pier deep below the surface until stable soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been successfully installed and securely bracketed to the foundation's footer. This allows the weight of the home to be transferred to the deeper, load-bearing soil layers below, providing permanent stabilization to the foundation.
Complete Foundation Repair and Stabilization
With each helical pier installed and the home's foundation successfully stabilized, the LRE team will proceed to backfill each pier with the previously excavated soil, ensuring a clean and seamless appearance for the homeowner.
