Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Repair in Oviedo, Florida
Chris from Oviedo, Florida, was preparing to put his home on the market when he noticed cracks forming in the walls of one corner of the house. Wanting to address the issue before listing, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a thorough inspection.
Our expert Design Specialist visited the property and found that soil settlement beneath the foundation had caused structural instability. To resolve the issue, a customized repair plan was created recommending the installation of our helical pier system to permanently stabilize the settling section of the home.
After Chris approved the plan, our team began by excavating soil around the affected area of the foundation. Each helical pier was then driven deep into the ground until it reached stable, load-bearing soil. Once the proper depths were achieved, the piers were securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to stronger, stable soil layers.
With the foundation fully stabilized, our team backfilled the excavated areas with the original soil, ensuring a clean and seamless final appearance.
Now, Chris can confidently move forward with selling his home, knowing prospective buyers will have the peace of mind that the foundation is safe, stable, and permanently supported.
