Dennis G. had numerous sinking sections of concrete driveway and patio around his New Port Richey, Florida home. Worried these areas would cause tripping hazards for himself or his guests, he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. LRE completed a full home inspection and determined that due to the age of the home and erosion over the years, washed-out and loose soils had caused the depressions of concrete over time. A solution was designed for this situation using a product called PolyLevel. This expanding flowable material is pumped through small holes in the concrete and flows directly below the slab. As the material fills in voids and compacts soils, it lifts concrete back into place. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and could gain peace of mind knowing his house's exterior was now safe.
Tree roots had caused damage to Vincent's concrete driveway in Trinity, Florida, resulting in cracks and an uneven surface. Following an inspection by an LRE Design Specialist, the team at LRE Foundation Repair implemented the Two-Part Concrete Protection System to repair the driveway. This system includes the use of PolyLevel to level and stabilize the concrete slabs and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints to prevent water intrusion underneath. Following the completion of the work, Vincent’s driveway is now not only repaired but also permanently stabilized against future settlement damage.
After noticing growing cracks in the exterior walls of her New Port Richey, Florida home, Torrey knew something wasn’t right. Over the span of a year, the damage had become too serious to ignore. Concerned about potential structural issues, she reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair for help.
Our team promptly sent out one of our expert Design Specialists to perform a full home inspection. The inspection revealed that the soil beneath Torrey’s home had settled, causing the foundation to shift and become unstable, ultimately resulting in the cracks that had formed in her walls.
To address the issue, we designed a tailored plan using our helical pier system to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation back into its proper position. Once Torrey approved this plan, our crew carefully installed the piers deep below the home until they reached solid, load-bearing soil. The piers were then secured to the foundation’s footer, allowing us to transfer the home’s weight and lift the structure back to its original position.
As a result, the foundation was fully stabilized, and the cracks that once worried Torrey were successfully closed. With the repair complete, she can now feel confident that her home is protected for the future.
Basil, from Tarpon Springs, Florida, knew their home had serious foundation issues when severe cracking appeared on the exterior walls. Following a thorough full-home inspection by a Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair, it was determined that major soil settlement had caused the foundation to become unstable. Helical piers were installed by the LRE team to lift the foundation back into its original position, effectively closing the wall cracks and providing permanent stabilization. Seeing the wall cracks closed, Basil’s family can feel safe knowing that their home’s foundation is now secure.
