LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In St. Petersburg, Florida, Caprish noticed growing settlement damage in her garage, including large stair-step cracks forming in the walls. Concerned the issue would worsen, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a permanent solution.

Our expert Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection and found that the soil beneath the side of the garage had settled, causing the foundation to sink. To correct the issue, we proposed installing our helical pier system to lift and stabilize the affected section of the foundation.

With Caprish’s approval, our team installed the piers deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. Once securely bracketed to the foundation's footer, the weight of the garage was transferred to these stable layers, allowing us to lift the foundation and close the cracks.

Caprish was thrilled to see the damage reversed and now has peace of mind knowing her garage is permanently stabilized and protected from future settlement.

Greg B., a resident of Land O’Lakes, noticed that the walkway leading from his driveway was not level with the front patio of his home. To address this issue, he opted for LRE's three-part concrete protection system. First, PolyLevel was utilized to level the concrete. Next, NexusPro was applied to seal expansion joints and cracks. Lastly, the DecoShield system was installed to safeguard the concrete and create a uniform color. These solutions not only rectified Greg's concrete problems but also ensured permanent protection, eliminating further soil settlement for good.

Greg B. of Land O’ Lakes, FL called LRE Foundation Repair looking for a solution to his home's uneven concrete after noticing his driveway, sidewalk, and patio were no longer level. After completing a whole home inspection, it was clear Greg’s uneven concrete was not the only issue. The driveway had not been sealed, causing stains that detracted from the home’s appearance. To remedy Greg’s concrete problems, LRE’s 3-part concrete protection system was recommended. The 3-part concrete protection system involves a product called PolyLevel which is a fast-expanding polymer foam that is used to permanently stabilize and level concrete. After, a tinted sealer called DecoShiled is applied to the concrete to protect and seal the concrete while adding a nice even color. To finish, all of the cracks and joints are sealed with NexusPro to eliminate water from penetrating underneath the concrete. After the work was completed, Greg was pleased to see his homes concrete free of trip hazards and increased curb appeal.  

Laura from Tampa, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her home's crawl space after noticing her wooden floors began cupping. Our Design Specialist visited and discovered trapped moisture in the crawl space, creating a humid environment that was likely causing the floor issue. The damp conditions also posed a risk for mold development, which could affect the indoor air quality.

Our Design Specialist created a plan to fully encapsulate the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This comprehensive system completely seals the crawl space with a highly durable moisture barrier to prevent moisture penetration to the wooden structural supports and inhibit mold growth. In addition, a specialized dehumidifier is installed to keep the air in the space clean and dry all year round.

After reviewing this plan with Laura, our team began implementing this system, providing Laura’s home with the protection it needed. She was thrilled with the results, knowing her crawl space was now secure and safeguarded for years to come.

In North Port, Florida, a section of Vasyl’s concrete driveway had cracked and settled significantly, creating a major trip hazard. Wanting a reliable solution that didn’t involve a full concrete replacement, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.

During the inspection, we discovered that soil erosion beneath the driveway was the root cause of the sinking and cracking. To restore safety and stability, our team implemented our Two-Part Concrete Protection System. First, we used PolyLevel to lift, level, and stabilize the sunken concrete slabs. Then, we sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro to prevent water intrusion and further soil erosion.

Not only did this solution address the safety concern, but the NexusPro also improved the driveway’s curb appeal. Vasyl was thrilled with the outcome and now has peace of mind knowing the trip hazard has been permanently removed.
