Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Settlement Repair in Altamonte Springs, Florida
Lawrence from Altamonte Springs, Florida, noticed stair-step cracks forming in the back right corner of his garage. Over the years, the cracks worsened to the point where light could pass through from outside. Realizing the urgency of the issue, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with our expert Design Specialist.
During the inspection, our specialist determined that significant soil settlement beneath the garage had caused the foundation to shift. To address the problem, we recommended installing our helical pier system to lift the foundation back into place and provide permanent stability.
Lawrence agreed to the solution, and our team got to work installing helical piers deep into the ground to anchor the foundation to stable soil layers below. Once the project was complete, Lawrence was thrilled with the results and now has peace of mind knowing his garage’s foundation is permanently stabilized.
Stair-step Wall Cracks
The homeowner grew concerned upon discovering stair-step cracks forming in the walls of their garage, along with ceiling cracks caused by foundation settlement.
Severe Wall Cracks
The cracks in the homeowner's garage walls worsened to the point where light from outside could pass through. If left unaddressed, the issue could lead to serious structural damage.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing helical piers deep into the ground beneath the settling foundation until strong soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers are now fully installed and securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, effectively transferring the home's weight to the stable soil layers below for permanent support.
Concealing Helical Piers
After the helical pier installation is complete, the LRE team carefully conceals each pier with the previously removed soil to provide a seamless appearance for the homeowner.
