Exterior Wall Cracks
The homeowner observed cracks appearing in the exterior walls at the back of the home, indicating potential issues with the foundation's stability.
Soil Erosion
Severe soil erosion and settlement beneath the back porch and rear of the home had caused the foundation to shift and become unstable.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing each helical pier deep into the ground beneath the foundation until load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Stabilizing Foundation
Once the piers reach the appropriate depths, the LRE team secures them to the foundation's footer, allowing the weight of the home to be transferred to the stable, load-bearing soil layers below. From there, the team carefully lifts the foundation back to its proper position.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been fully installed by the LRE team, and the home's foundation is now permanently stabilized.
Concealing Helical Piers
After fully installing the helical pier system and stabilizing the home's foundation, the LRE team carefully backfills the previously removed soil around each pier to create a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
