A homeowner in Longwood, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair after noticing that their large concrete patio slab, which supported their home’s AC unit, was separating from the house and sinking into the soil. Concerned about the structural integrity of the patio, they scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
During the assessment, we discovered that significant soil erosion, caused by rainwater runoff from the roof, had compromised the slab’s stability. To provide a lasting solution, our team installed a helical pier system around the patio’s foundation, ensuring durable support and preventing further settlement.
Upon completion of the project, the homeowner was relieved to see the gap between the patio and the home fully closed, knowing their patio slab is now permanently stabilized and secure.
Chad’s concrete pool deck at his home in Longwood, Florida, had suffered significant settlement damage, causing multiple slabs to become uneven and create major tripping hazards. Wanting a reliable solution that wouldn’t require replacing the concrete, he turned to LRE Foundation Repair for help.
After a thorough inspection by our Design Specialist, we recommended our Two-Part Concrete Protection System to lift, level, and seal the damaged areas. Chad approved the plan, and our team got to work. First, we injected PolyLevel beneath the pool deck to carefully lift and level the slabs. Then, we sealed the cracks with NexusPro to prevent further damage and protect against water intrusion.
Now, Chad’s pool deck is fully leveled and permanently stabilized, allowing him to enjoy his outdoor space with peace of mind.
Ken’s pool deck in Longwood, Florida, often flooded during heavy rainstorms, leaving large pools of water that drained slowly. Seeking a lasting solution, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair. Our Design Specialist inspected the property and found that the original channel drains had become damaged and were no longer adequate for providing proper drainage, causing persistent pooling. We proposed installing a new exterior drainage system featuring an upgraded channel drain to efficiently collect and divert rainwater away from the deck. After Ken’s approval, our team removed sections of concrete, installed the new channel drain, and connected it to a subsurface drainage pipe system. Now, Ken’s pool deck is well-protected with a superior drainage solution that prevents pooling and safeguards his home from water damage.
Matthew noticed that his concrete patio stairs were gradually sinking over time, creating a significant trip hazard and prompting him to take immediate action to prevent the issue from worsening. A Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair visited Matthew’s home in Longwood, Florida, and conducted a comprehensive inspection of the concrete steps. After confirming that soil settlement was the cause for the steps to sink, the LRE team used PolyLevel to lift the concrete back to its proper level. Matthew was delighted with the outcome, as the stairsteps are now stabilized, and the trip hazard is gone for good.
Connor from Longwood, Florida, had just purchased his new home and wanted to install an exterior drainage system around his pool deck to eliminate the rainwater that routinely pooled in the area. He reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to learn how we could help, and our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists.
After inspecting the property’s layout, our specialist designed a plan to install catch basins throughout the yard that would collect and redirect rainwater through an underground drainage pipe and out a relief drain away from the pool deck. Connor reviewed the proposal and gave our team the green light to begin the work.
Our crew removed sections of the yard around the pool deck to install the catch basins, relief drain, and underground piping. Once everything was placed and connected, the team replaced the previously removed sod, leaving the new subsurface system neatly concealed with a clean, seamless appearance.
Now, Connor’s backyard pool deck is protected from water pooling, helping prevent future damage and giving him peace of mind as he settles into his new home.
