LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Natalia I. has lived in her old St. Petersburg, Florida home for years and was experiencing settlement to her foundation with visible damage to the exterior brick walls. She wanted to make sure there were no other underlying problems with the home, so she called LRE Foundation Repair to find out. LRE completed an inspection and determined shifting and unstable soil conditions plagued this home and designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation around the exterior, coupled with PolyLevel injection. Helical piers are galvanized steel tubes that are drilled into the soil and affixed to the home with metal brackets. The piers were able to gently lift the side of the home to stabilize and relevel the structure. Next, PolyLevel, an expandable polyurethane material, was injected into the soils to compact them and fill in any possible voids. These two systems are often used to work together to stabilize foundations for years to come. This homeowner was not only happy with the end result and finished project, but relieved to not have to worry about her home anymore. 

A lingering odor had permeated Adriana’s home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, leading her to suspect it might originate from the crawl space below. She asked an expert Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space in hopes of finding a solution. The specialist confirmed that moisture damage had negatively affected the crawl space, resulting in the unpleasant odor and the accumulation of mold and mildew. To provide a lasting solution, the specialist recommended implementing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to keep the space clean and dry. With the incorporation of a waterproof liner to cover every square inch of the crawl space, along with a sump pump and dehumidifier, this comprehensive solution ensures that moisture is effectively managed, preventing damage to the structural integrity and maintaining air quality within the home. Following the installation of the CleanSpace system, Adriana was very pleased with the work done by LRE and felt relieved knowing that the unpleasant odor was eliminated and the air in her home was now clean.

Linda of Saint Petersburg, Florida, had observed an unstable section of her home's floor as she walked across it, and it appeared that the problem had worsened over time. Worried the floorboards may break through at some point, she asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space. An LRE Design Specialist discovered that the block piers supporting the floor joists in the crawl space showed signs of settling, thereby weakening the support for the affected section. The LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space to permanently stabilize the affected section of the home’s floor, alleviating Linda’s concerns. She can now have peace of mind, knowing that her floors are safe and secure.

Over time, large cracks had formed in the walls of Caprish’s garage in St. Petersburg, Florida, raising serious concerns about her home’s foundation. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection.

After a thorough evaluation, we discovered that the foundation was settling due to unstable soil beneath the garage. To fix the issue, we recommended installing our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation.

With Caprish’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil layers. The weight of the home was then transferred to these stable layers, and we successfully lifted the foundation, effectively closing the cracks in the walls.

Now that her garage is fully stabilized, Caprish has lasting peace of mind knowing her home is protected from further settlement damage.
