Damage to Home Exterior
This home suffered from loose, shifting soils that allowed it to sink and settle, causing cracks.
Helical Pier Installation
LRE started the project with helical pier installation where needed. These piers are drilled into the ground with small construction equipment.
Helical Pier Placement
Once all helical piers are in place, they are affixed to a bracket which then attaches to the home.
Bracket Installation
The brackets are then attached to the home's footer where the weight can then be transferred or shared with the piers rather than on the ground. This helps create a more stable foundation for years to come.
PolyLevel Injection
Depending on the damage to homes, PolyLevel is oftentimes used to further compact and stabilize loose sandy soils.
PolyLevel Expanding Material
As PolyLevel is injected into the ground, a chemical reaction allows for the material to expand, filling voids, stabilizing soils, and creating lift where needed.
