Photo Album: Foundation Repair and Stabilization in Daytona Beach, Florida
Andrew in Daytona Beach, Florida, had noticed cracks forming along the walls in one corner of his house, raising concerns about potential foundation settlement. In need of a thorough inspection, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free appointment with one of our expert Design Specialists.
After assessing the damage, our specialist confirmed that soil erosion beneath that section of the home had caused the foundation to settle. We created a plan to permanently stabilize the affected area using our helical pier system. Andrew reviewed the plan and gave our team the go-ahead to begin the repairs.
Our team installed each helical pier deep into the ground beneath the foundation until reaching stronger, load-bearing soil layers. Once the proper depths were achieved, the piers were bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to stable soil below. Our team was then able to carefully lift the settling corner back closer to its proper level.
Now, the corner of Andrew’s home is permanently stabilized and secure, providing lasting protection against future settlement and eliminating any concerns about further damage.
