Foundation Repair Photo Album: Repairing and Stabilizing Settling Foundation in Winter Garden, Florida
Anita in Winter Garden, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair after noticing cracks forming in the walls throughout her home. Concerned about potential structural issues, she scheduled a foundation inspection with our team. One of our expert Design Specialists visited Anita’s home and, after a thorough assessment, determined that foundation settlement caused by unstable soil beneath the home had been the issue.
To fully stabilize and protect the foundation, we recommended installing our helical pier system. After reviewing and approving the repair plan, Anita gave us her approval to begin the work. Our team installed each helical pier deep into the ground until reaching stable, load-bearing soil layers. Once in place, the piers were securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, successfully transferring the weight of the home to the stronger soil below.
After the installation was complete, we carefully concealed the piers for a clean, finished look. With the project complete, Anita could now enjoy peace of mind knowing her home’s foundation was permanently stabilized and protected from future settlement.
Interior Wall Cracks
The homeowner noticed large vertical cracks forming in the interior walls, raising concerns about possible foundation settlement.
Exterior Wall Cracks
Cracks along the exterior walls of the home served as another clear indicator of underlying foundation issues.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team installs helical piers deep into the ground beneath the foundation until strong, load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Stabilizing Foundation with Helical Piers
Once the helical piers reach the required depth, the LRE team brackets each one to the foundation's footer, transferring the weight of the home to strong, load-bearing soil layers and providing permanent stabilization.
Concealing Helical Piers
Once the helical pier installation is complete and the foundation permanently stabilized, the LRE team conceals each helical pier with the previously removed soil.
