LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Patrick K. bought his home in Saint Petersburg, Florida around three years ago. However, he has been experiencing settlement and a shifting foundation ever since. He tried fixing many of the cosmetic repairs on his own but to no avail. So he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it once and for all. After conducting a thorough home inspection, LRE decided to install a SmartJack system in the crawlspace and helical piers around the perimeter of the foundation where proper footings were missing. Loose and unstable soils had compromised the interior floors, so they installed galvanized steel posts, or jacks, under the home to stabilize and lift the floors back to level. The part of the crawlspace that had pulled away from the home was stabilized and gaping cracks were closed with the installation of helical piers. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was relieved to finally enjoy his permanently stabilized "new" home.

Facing recurring issues of pooling water and erosion around the backyard of his St. Petersburg, Florida home, Jeff T. recognized the pressing need for a drainage system. To address the problem, he decided to contact us at LRE Foundation Repair after a recommendation. We inspected the property and determined that the heavy rainfall was posing a potential threat to his home's foundation, and thus opted for the installation of a new trench drain, commonly referred to as a channel drain. Channel drains are useful in directing large amounts of water away from the home and out into the yard or street where it belongs. The relatively easy installation process left this homeowner more than pleased as his concerns were calmed and his home protected from any further damage.

Angelina from St. Petersburg, Florida, was preparing to sell her home and wanted to ensure the foundation was stable after noticing that the floors in some areas of the house appeared to be sloping. Her home has a crawl space, and she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to conduct a thorough inspection and identify any potential structural issues.

We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home, and upon entering the crawl space, they immediately observed that the floor joists in the affected areas were sagging and in need of additional support. To resolve the issue, our team installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent reinforcement for the floor joists, effectively restoring the floors to their proper level.

Now, Angelina can confidently place her home on the market, assured that the foundation is permanently stabilized.

Carlos, residing in St. Petersburg, Florida, was in search of reliable concrete driveway repair services and reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help. Over the years, soil settlement had caused the concrete slabs to sink and become uneven, resulting in significant cracks and trip hazards throughout the driveway. The LRE team implemented the Two-Part Concrete Protection System to restore the concrete. This involved utilizing PolyLevel® to lift and level the sunken slabs and applying NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints, preventing water from seeping under the concrete. Carlos's driveway has been fully restored, with the concrete now leveled, stabilized, and safeguarded against any further settlement.

A significant trip hazard had formed in Andrew’s concrete back patio in Saint Petersburg, Florida, as one of the slabs had sunken into the soil below. He called us at LRE Foundation Repair and asked for one of our Design Specialists to inspect to concrete and help offer a solution. Upon careful examination, the specialist identified soil erosion had occurred beneath the patio, causing the patio to sink. Our production team utilized PolyLevel by injecting it directly underneath the concrete to both lift the sunken slab and stabilize the underlying soil. Andrew’s concrete back patio is now fully leveled and stabilized, alleviating his concerns about the potential risk of injury.
