Foundation Repair Photo Album: Repairing and Stabilizing Foundation in Largo, Florida
Francisco and his father recently purchased their new home in Largo, Florida, only to discover cracks in the walls that had been covered up by the previous homeowners. Shocked by this revelation, they reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection of the home’s foundation and check for any potential structural issues. Following a detailed inspection by our expert Design Specialist, it was confirmed that the foundation had begun to settle due to unstable soil beneath the home.
We developed a comprehensive repair plan that involved installing our helical pier system to fully and permanently stabilize the foundation. After reviewing the plan, Francisco gave our team the go-ahead to proceed with the repairs. Our crew installed each helical pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil layers. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation’s footer, successfully transferring the weight of the home to the competent soil below.
As a result, the foundation was permanently stabilized—allowing Francisco and his father to enjoy their new home with renewed peace of mind.
