Interior Wall Cracks
The building's interior walls had developed large cracks due to the foundation settling.
Separating Walls
Noticeable gaps had appeared where the interior walls met as a result of the building's foundation settling.
Preparing for Helical Pier Installation
To access the building's foundation footers, the LRE team removed sections of the surrounding sidewalk concrete.
Installing Helical Piers
Each helical pier is driven deep into the ground beneath the foundation until stronger soil layers are reached.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been fully installed and brackted to the foundation's footer. The weight of the structure has now been successfully transferred to the load-bearing soil layers below, effectively providing permanent stabilization to the building.
Concealing Helical Piers
After successfully installing the helical piers, the LRE team replaced the previously removed concrete with freshly poured concrete to conceal the piers.
