LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A section of the concrete sidewalk in front of Barbara’s home in Port Richey, Florida, had developed into a dangerous trip hazard, and she knew she had to get it fixed before any serious injuries could occur. After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair, we sent one of our Design Specialists to inspect the sidewalk and help provide a solution. Upon careful examination, the specialist found that one of the concrete slabs had sunk into the ground, creating an uneven surface with the adjacent slab. They diagnosed soil settlement as the cause and created a plan to implement our Two-Part Concrete Protection System to fully repair and stabilize the sidewalk. First, our team injected PolyLevel directly underneath the sunken slab to lift it back to its proper level and stabilize the underlying soil. Next, we sealed the control joint separating the two slabs with NexusPro to prevent water intrusion below the sidewalk. Upon completion, the trip hazard was completely eliminated, and the sidewalk was fully leveled and permanently stabilized, alleviating Barbara’s concerns and providing her peace of mind.

In Port Richey, Florida, Nikolaos had noticed significant cracks forming along the exterior walls of one corner of his home, raising concerns about the stability of his foundation. To address the issue, we sent our Design Specialist to perform a full home inspection and assess the damage. The inspection revealed that the soil beneath the affected corner had settled significantly, causing the foundation to sink and resulting in the visible wall cracks.

To resolve the problem, our Design Specialist proposed a plan to stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its original position using our helical pier system. Nikolaos approved the plan, and our team got to work, carefully installing each helical pier deep into stable soil beneath the home. Once in place, the system successfully stabilized and lifted the foundation, closing the cracks in the walls.

Thanks to this permanent solution, Nikolaos can now rest easy, knowing his home is secure, with the once-worrisome cracks fully repaired.

Lori's concrete front porch in Port Richey, FL, had become worn, faded, and discolored over the years, making it an eyesore that detracted from her home's curb appeal. After contacting LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her settling concrete driveway, our Design Specialist explained that we could not only repair the driveway, but also completely transform her front porch with our premium Vuba Stone Concrete Coating. Together, we created a customized plan to stabilize her concrete and give her porch a beautiful new natural stone finish.

Our team began by lifting and stabilizing the settled concrete with our PolyLevel solution, creating a solid foundation for the new surface. Once the slabs were leveled and stabilized, we installed the Vuba Stone coating by blending Spanish marble and quartz with a strong, flexible resin before carefully applying and smoothing the mixture across the porch in its designated color pattern. After the material was compacted and allowed to cure, Lori was left with a stunning, low-maintenance, permeable surface that's as durable as it is beautiful.

The transformation completely revitalized the appearance of Lori's front porch, dramatically enhancing her home's curb appeal. She was thrilled with the final results and now has a long-lasting outdoor surface she can enjoy for years to come.

Rodney M. noticed cracking and settlement to his sidewalk and driveway and had concerns about a foundation problem at his home in Holiday, Florida. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to see if there was an underlying issue that needed to be addressed. LRE completed a full home inspection, and through careful ground measurements and testing, determined that large voids and loose soils were causing the heavy weight of the concrete above to sink. LRE designed a solution to solve this problem using PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material injected through small ports in the concrete slabs that expands when in contact with soils, filling voids and strengthening the area. This material even expanded enough to lift the concrete drive close to two inches. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was happy to see his driveway and sidewalk not only lifted back to normal but permanently stabilized as well. 

Nancy from Holiday, FL, had concerns about her home’s structural integrity after noticing large cracks forming in the walls. Needing to act quickly, she called LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.

Upon arriving at Nancy’s home and assessing the damage, it became apparent that significant soil settlement had caused the foundation to shift. To permanently halt further settlement, our team installed our helical pier system. Each pier was driven deep into the ground until stable soil layers were reached. From there, the piers were bracketed to the foundation’s footer, and the weight of the home was successfully transferred to the more stable soil beneath.

Our team then carefully lifted the foundation back to its proper position, effectively closing the cracks in the walls. Upon completion, Nancy was thrilled with the results and can now rest assured that her home is permanently stabilized and secure.
