Photo Album: Foundation Repair & New Exterior Drainage System in Chuluota, FL
In Chuluota, FL, John noticed cracks developing in the walls of one corner of his home due to soil settlement beneath the foundation and called LRE Foundation Repair for assistance.
Following a comprehensive inspection by one of our local Design Specialists, it was determined that inadequate drainage along that side of the home was contributing to soil erosion beneath the foundation. To address both issues, we recommended stabilizing the foundation with our helical pier system while also installing an enhanced exterior drainage system to help prevent rainwater from pooling around the home.
After John approved the repair plan, our team got to work installing helical piers deep into the ground, transferring the weight of the home to stable, load-bearing soil layers for permanent stabilization. We then connected the home's downspouts to an underground drainage pipe, allowing rainwater to be directed safely away from the property through a relief drain.
With the helical piers and new drainage system in place, John's home is now permanently stabilized and better protected against future water intrusion and soil erosion.
Soil Erosion Around Foundation
Poor exterior drainage had caused the soil around this side of the home to erode, leading to settlement of the foundation.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing the helical pier system by driving each pier deep into the ground until strong, load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Complete Installation of Helical Piers
The helical piers have been fully installed, and the foundation is now permanently stabilized.
Installation of Exterior Drainage System
The new exterior yard drainage system is installed by the LRE team, which includes connecting the gutter system's downspouts directly to an underground drainage pipe to direct collected rainwater away from the foundation.
Complete Installation of Yard Drainage System
The new exterior drainage system is now completely installed and concealed beneath the home's yard.
Buried Downspouts
The home's downspouts are now connected to the underground drainage system to help prevent water from discharging around the foundation.
