Foundation Wall Cracks Closed in Wesley Chapel, FL

John’s home in Wesley Chapel, FL, flooded during both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in October 2024, resulting in extensive damage that included significant foundation settlement. Large stair-step cracks formed in the exterior walls—a common sign of foundation instability. In search of a reliable repair solution, John contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and our team sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection.

During the inspection, our specialist discovered that the underlying soil beneath the back corner of the home had severely eroded, causing the foundation to settle. A repair plan was developed to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back to its proper position using our helical pier system. After reviewing the plan, John approved the repairs, and our team got to work.

Using specialized equipment, our crew installed each helical pier deep beneath the foundation until reaching strong, load-bearing soil layers. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to the stable soil below. Once secured, the foundation was carefully lifted, which helped close the exterior wall cracks.

John’s home is now permanently stabilized and secure, providing him with lasting relief and peace of mind.
