Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Palm Bay, Florida
Michelle from Palm Bay, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair after large cracks quickly appeared in her home’s walls. Concerned about the severity of the damage, she requested a full home inspection.
We promptly sent one of our expert Design Specialists, who discovered that the foundation had settled due to erosion of the underlying soil. To provide a permanent solution, we recommended installing our helical pier system to stabilize and restore the foundation.
With Michelle’s approval, our team installed each helical pier deep beneath the foundation until reaching strong, load-bearing soils. The piers were securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to the competent soil below. From there, we carefully lifted the structure back into its proper position, effectively stabilizing the foundation permanently.
Now, Michelle has lasting peace of mind, knowing her foundation is permanently stabilized and protected against future settlement damage.
Stair-step Wall Cracks
Large stair-step cracks formed in the home's walls, a clear sign of foundation settlement.
Installing Helical Piers
The LRE team installs helical piers deep beneath the foundation using specialized equipment until they reach strong, load-bearing soil.
Stabilizing Foundation with Helical Piers
Once the helical piers have reached the appropriate depths, they are bracketed to the foundation's footer, and the weight of the home is transferred to the stable soil layers.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been completely installed, and the home's foundation is now permanently stabilized. The LRE team will then proceed to backfill the previously removed soil to conceal the peirs to restore a seamless appearance.
