LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A significant trip hazard had developed in the concrete sidewalk at an apartment complex in Mulberry, Florida, prompting local residents to seek help from LRE Foundation Repair. We sent one of our Design Specialists to inspect the concrete, and they immediately noticed that one of the slabs had sunk into the ground due to erosion of the underlying soil. The specialist informed the residents that the sidewalk could be fully leveled and stabilized using PolyLevel. Our team quickly got to work, injecting the solution directly underneath the concrete. The sunken slab was successfully brought back to an even, stable level, completely eliminating the trip hazard. The residents of this apartment complex can now feel at ease, knowing that the threat of injury has been removed from their concrete sidewalk.

Eugene and Pam W. had owned their home in Englewood, Florida for many years and wanted to start renovations. They knew they needed to address the home's sinking concrete slabs before they could begin, so they decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE inspected the home inside and out, and designed a plan that would fix the sunken concrete due to shifting, loose soil conditions. LRE used PolyLevel, an injectable and expanding polymer foam material that flows into the voids between loose soils particles, expanding to about 15 times its initial volume. This product was able to lift the concrete slab areas around the home, closing gaps and cracks. Once complete, these homeowners were pleasantly surprised at the results and excited to get to work on renovations. 

Thomas in Englewood, Florida, needed to have his concrete pool deck repaired so that he could have the surface refinished. The concrete had visibly sunk in certain areas, creating significant tripping hazards around the pool coping. He asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the pool deck in hopes of finding a solution. After careful examination by one of our Design Specialists, it was determined that the underlying soil beneath the pool deck had become unstable, causing the concrete to sink. After the inspection, our team promptly got to work and injected PolyLevel directly beneath the concrete to stabilize the soil and raise the sunken sections, restoring them to an even, stable level. With the concrete leveled and the trip hazards eliminated for good, Thomas can move forward with refinishing his pool deck’s surface with peace of mind.

Kathy and Makaela S. were experiencing ongoing moisture intrusion on the back patio of their Auburndale, Florida home, which eventually led to mold growth along the baseboards. Concerned about the impact on their home and foundation, they contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a professional assessment. After a thorough inspection, LRE identified soil settlement and washed-out soils as the primary causes of the drainage failure. To address these issues, the team designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on long-term moisture control and foundation protection. The system included an EZ-Flow French drain to capture and redirect groundwater away from the patio, along with a sump pump installation to efficiently collect and discharge excess water to a safe location in the yard. This integrated subsurface drainage system works together to prevent water buildup and intrusion, all while remaining buried for a clean, unobtrusive appearance. With proper drainage and water management restored, Kathy and Makaela can now enjoy a dry patio and peace of mind knowing their home is protected.
