Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair and Stabilization in Bradenton, Florida
Carolyn from Bradenton, Florida, grew concerned after noticing large cracks in the exterior walls of her home. With plans to list the property for sale, she wanted to ensure there were no underlying structural issues that might scare off potential buyers. She reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair, and we quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
Upon arrival, our specialist immediately identified the cracks and determined that soil settlement beneath the foundation was the root cause. To address the issue, we developed a comprehensive repair plan using our helical pier system.
Our crew began by driving each helical pier 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 layers below and effectively halting further settlement. Once the foundation was stabilized, the previously excavated soil was carefully replaced to conceal the piers and restore the area’s appearance.
With her foundation now secure, Carolyn can move forward with confidence in listing her home for sale.
