LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Tampa, Florida, a homeowner's association sought assistance from LRE Foundation Repair to address multiple trip hazards in their neighborhood’s concrete sidewalks. Over time, soil settlement and intrusive tree roots had caused many slabs to sink or shift, creating unsafe walking conditions for residents. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist recommended PolyLevel, an innovative solution for lifting and leveling concrete. Our production team quickly began injecting the PolyLevel solution beneath the concrete, effectively restoring the sidewalks to a smooth, stable condition. This process eliminated the risk of injury and provided residents with peace of mind, ensuring safer walkways throughout the neighborhood.

Jeff was preparing to sell his home in Tampa, FL, and needed to address the concrete front porch that had sunk into the ground. The steps of the porch had gradually settled over time, as made evident in the ‘before’ photo. After reaching out to us for assistance, we applied our PolyLevel solution, effectively lifting and stabilizing the steps of the front porch. Notice in the ‘after’ photo how the gap between the steps and the adjacent wall has now been closed, ensuring the steps have been restored to their proper level. With the front porch now fully repaired, Jeff can now confidently place his home on the market at its highest value.

William M. of Tampa, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair after growing concerns about his cracking pool deck and stem wall. He lived right next to an inlet and was worried about future damage. LRE completed a full inspection of the property and noted severe washout and erosion had caused the foundation to fail and got to work on a remediation program. LRE injected Polylevel, a two-part expanding foam material, into small holes around the pool deck. This material not only filled the voids left by loose, washed-out soils but also expanded to lift the sunken areas of the deck back into place. Next, LRE applied the same PolyLevel material under the stem wall, creating a more sound foundation that would eliminate future damage. Once complete, this homeowner was thrilled to have peace of mind that his pool area was stabilized and could finally rest easy knowing his problems were solved. 

Kent H. in Tampa, Florida was experiencing significant cracking to the exterior stucco of his home. With growing concerns there may be a problem, he called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. After a thorough inspection of the home, LRE was able to determine the main cause of the foundation settlement was due to unstable soils underneath the home. To compact and stabilize the underlying soils, LRE used a two-part deep injection chemical grout. This material expands to compact the underlying soils while strengthening the area as well. LRE also installed helical piers to the side of the home in order to gain lift to the structure, closing some of the cracks in the exterior stucco. Helical piers are advanced deep into the soil and connected to the home's foundation to allow lift to occur. Once the job was complete, Kent H. was extremely pleased to see his home restored and foundation stabilized for years to come.
