Foundation Repair Photo Album: Repairing Foundation in Port Charlotte, Florida
In Port Charlotte, Florida, Valerie became concerned after noticing cracks forming in the walls of her home. Since she planned to make this her forever home, she wanted to address any potential foundation issues right away. Valerie contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair, and our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
During the inspection, our specialist discovered that the soil beneath one side of Valerie’s home had settled, compromising the foundation’s stability. To resolve the issue, we developed a comprehensive plan to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation using our helical pier system.
Once Valerie approved the plan, our crew installed the helical piers deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to the stable soil below. With the piers in place, our team carefully lifted the foundation, successfully closing many of the wall cracks.
Valerie was very pleased with the outcome and now has peace of mind knowing her home is permanently stabilized and protected for the future.

The LRE team begins installing the helical piers deep into the ground beneath the foundation until strong, load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Stabilizing Foundation
Once the helical piers have been installed, the LRE team then transfers the weight of the home to the load-bearing soil layers deep below the surface.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
