Exterior Wall Cracks
The homeowner observed cracks within the exterior walls of the home, raising concerns about potential foundation settlement issues.
Preparing for Helical Pier Installation
The LRE begins the foundation stabilization process by first excavating soil and preparing the helical piers to be installed into the ground beneath the home.
Installing Helical Piers
With the use of specialized equipment, the LRE team carefully drives the helical piers deep into the ground until strong, load-bearing soil layers are reached.
Stabilizing Foundation
Once the helical piers reach the appropriate depth, the LRE team secures them to the foundation's footer with specialized brackets, transferring the weight of the home to the stable soil layers below.
Complete Helical Pier Installation
The helical piers have been fully installed, and the foundation is now permanently stabilized.
Concealing Helical Piers
After the helical piers have been fully installed and the foundation stabilized, the LRE team conceals the piers with the previously removed soil to provide a seamless appearance.
