Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Winter Springs, Florida
After first noticing stair-step pattern cracks in the walls of her garage in Winter Springs, Florida, Linda asked LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with conducting a thorough inspection of her home’s foundation. We sent our Design Specialist to assess the damage, and upon further evaluation, they noticed more cracks appearing along the exterior walls of the home and confirmed for Linda that soil settlement had caused her foundation to shift. We proposed having our team install our helical pier system to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its proper position to close the cracks. Linda approved of this plan, and our team set to work installing each helical pier deep below the surface until stable soil layers were reached. The weight of the home was then transferred to the stable soil layers, stabilizing the home and allowing the team to lift the foundation back into place. Linda can now feel assured that her home’s foundation is permanently stabilized, granting her peace of mind for many years to come.
Stair-step Wall Cracks
The homeowner grew concerned after noticing stair-step cracks forming in the walls of their garage-an indication of possible foundation stability issues.
Horizontal Exterior Wall Cracks
A common sign of foundation settlement is the presence of horizontal cracks in the walls, which often indicate that the walls have bowed inward due to shifting or settling of the foundation.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing the helical piers deep into the soil beneath the foundation until strong, stable soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been fully installed and securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, delivering permanent stabilization and preventing further settlement.
Concealing Helical Piers
Once the helical installation process is complete, the LRE team carefully conceals each helical pier with the previously excavated soil.
