Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Clearwater, Florida
In Clearwater, Florida, Michael began noticing cracks forming in the walls of his home — a common sign of foundation settlement. Concerned the issue could worsen, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. One of our Design Specialists visited Michael’s home and, after a thorough assessment, confirmed that the soil beneath the foundation had settled, leading to structural instability.
To address the problem, we proposed installing our helical pier system to permanently stabilize the foundation. With Michael’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until they reached stable, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely attached to the home’s foundation footer, transferring the weight of the structure to the more stable soil layers below.
With the project complete, Michael was relieved and confident knowing his home was now permanently stabilized.
Exterior Wall Cracks
The homeowner became alarmed after noticing cracks within their home's exterior walls.
Ceiling Cracks
Cracks had appeared in the ceiling inside the home, a common symptom of foundation settlement.
Excavating Soil
The LRE team begins the helical pier installation process by first excavating soil to expose the foundation's footer.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
Using specialized equipment, LRE drives each helical pier deep into the soil beneath the home until strong, load-bearing layers are reached. The piers are then securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, transferring the home's weight to the stable soil below.
Concealing Helical Piers
After the LRE team successfully stabilizes the foundation using the helical pier system, the previously excavated soil is replaced to conceal each pier.
