Brenten H. experienced a large amount of damage to his Bonita Springs, Florida, home when a recent storm hit. He called LRE because he was concerned about the large cracks on the side of his house as well as the sinking foundation. After the initial inspection, LRE Foundation Repair was able to determine the main cause of damage from this storm: loose soils and erosion that led to large voids under the house. LRE's plan of action included the installation of helical piers around the exterior that were driven into the soil and attached to the foundation. These galvanized steel piers not only added to the stability of the structure but also assisted in closing the cracks and carefully lifting the side of the home. Next, LRE used PolyLevel, a two-part expanding foam material, to fill the voids underneath the home, further increasing stability. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was ecstatic to not have to worry about future damage or settlement to his property.
The concrete slab on Joshua’s back patio in Cocoa, Florida, had developed a significant crack that seemed to worsen over time, prompting him to contact LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. An inspection by one of our expert Design Specialists revealed that soil erosion beneath the patio had occurred, causing the concrete to settle and crack as a result. To provide a comprehensive solution, our team implemented our Two-Part Concrete Protection System to repair the concrete. First, PolyLevel was injected beneath the patio to fill the voids, stabilize the surrounding soil, and level the concrete. Next, the crack was filled and sealed with NexusPro to prevent water intrusion and enhance the concrete’s visual appeal. Joshua can now feel at ease knowing that his concrete back patio has been fully repaired and permanently stabilized.
Sheila B. of Cocoa, Florida had cracks in various places on the outside stucco of her home. Suddenly, she noticed an interior crack on her ceiling and decided it was time to call LRE Foundation Repair. After an inspection to the home, it was determined that weakened and shifting soils were the main cause to the home's movement and subsequent cracking. LRE designed the perfect solution consisting of helical pier installation around the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers are drilled into the soil to appropriate depths and capacities and prevent future settlement from occurring. Oftentimes, helical piers provide the needed lift of the structure to close larger cracks. Once Sheila's project was complete, she was ecstatic to see the cracks closed up and the foundation stabilized.
A homeowner in Cocoa, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair about troubling cracks in her pool deck. We promptly scheduled an inspection, and our Design Specialist assessed the issue. The inspection revealed that shifting, loose soil was causing the concrete to settle. We recommended PolyLevel® as the ideal solution. This method effectively lifts and levels the concrete while stabilizing it to prevent future damage. The installation was fast and safe, restoring the pool deck to its original condition in less than a day.
Kathryn from Cocoa, Florida, noticed a persistent musty odor inside her home and suspected it was coming from the crawl space beneath her house. Concerned about potential issues, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a complimentary inspection.
During the inspection, our Design Specialist discovered high levels of moisture and humidity in the crawl space, which were contributing to the unpleasant smell inside her home. To prevent mold and mildew growth and protect the home’s foundation, we recommended installing the CleanSpace™ Crawl Space Encapsulation System.
This system includes a durable moisture barrier to seal the crawl space, safeguarding the wooden support structures while preventing mold growth. Additionally, a specialized dehumidifier helps maintain clean, dry air year-round.
With Kathryn’s approval, our team installed the full CleanSpace system, effectively sealing the crawl space and eliminating the odor. She was thrilled with the results and now has peace of mind knowing her home is protected from moisture-related issues.
