Stair-step Exterior Wall Cracks
Upon noticing stair-step cracking patterns on the exterior walls of their home, the homeowner knew they needed to have the foundation professionally inspected.
Horizontal Wall Cracks
Another common sign of foundation settlement issues is the appearance of horizontal cracks along the walls of a home or building.
Push Pier Installation Preparation
The LRE team excavates a section of concrete from the walkway around the affected side of the home to access the foundation's footer and prepare for the installation of the push piers in the soil below.
Complete Push Pier Installation
The push piers are bracketed to the foundation's footer and then driven deep into the soil beneath the home until they reach solid bedrock. This process provides stabilization for the foundation, and an attempt can be made to lift it back to its proper position.
Concealing Push Piers
Once the push pier installation is complete and the foundation has been fully stabilized, the LRE team carefully conceals the push piers by replacing the excavated concrete with new, freshly poured concrete.
