Stair-step Brick Wall Cracks
Severe foundation settlement had caused wide cracks between the home's brick walls-so large that daylight could be seen straight through them.
Interior Wall Cracks
The homeowner was alarmed by the cracks spreading through the interior walls, a clear warning sign of structural instability in the home's foundation.
Exterior Wall Stair-step Cracks
One of the most common indicators of foundation settlement is the formation of exterior wall cracks, often appearing in a stair-step pattern like the one shown here.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team begins installing helical piers at the front of the home, driving them deep into the ground with specialized equipment until they reach strong, load-bearing soil layers.
Installing Push Piers
At the back of the home, the LRE team installs push piers, driving them deep into the ground until they reach solid bedrock.
Complete Foundation Pier Installation
Now that the helical and push piers are fully in place, the home's foundation is permanently stabilized and protected against future settlement.
Concealing Foundation Piers
After the LRE team has completed the foundation repair and stabilization process, the helical and push piers are carefully concealed beneath the previously removed soil to restore a seamless appearance.
