Richard and Patricia owned this home in Temple Terrace, Florida for many years. The back room addition of this home started settling and large cracks were forming inside on the walls and ceiling. With growing concern, they called LRE Foundation Repair for the solution. After an inspection determined loose soils were causing too much movement to the home, LRE engineered a solution by installing helical piers and injecting PolyLevel to a section of the home. Helical piers are drilled into the soil around the exterior walls using small equipment to eliminate disruption to the landscaping of the home. These piers were also able to achieve the desired lift this home needed. In addition, PolyLevel, an expandable two-part foam, was injected at the site to solidify and stabilize the soils underneath. Once completed, these homeowners were thrilled to see the cracks closed and the home stabilized for years to come.
William from Temple Terrace, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair after noticing that a section of his concrete pool deck had sunk, creating a visible gap between the deck’s surface and the pool cage. Our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists to conduct a thorough inspection of Willam’s concrete pool deck and help provide a solution. Upon careful assessment, our specialist determined that the underlying soil beneath the settling section of the pool deck had eroded over time, causing the pool deck to sink. To lift, level, and stabilize the concrete, our team soon stepped in and injected PolyLevel directly beneath the pool deck. Within minutes, the concrete slabs were lifted back to their proper level and the gap between the surface and the pool cage was effectively closed. William was very pleased with the results, and can now rest assured knowing his pool deck is now permanently stabilized.
Matteo, a homeowner in Temple Terrace, Florida, noticed his kitchen floors were sagging noticeably, leaving wide gaps between the floorboards and the surrounding walls. Planning to make this house his permanent residence, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection of his crawl space to identify any underlying structural issues.
During the inspection, our expert Design Specialist found that the floor joists lacked sufficient support—many of the original block piers had either settled or were missing entirely. To address the problem, we developed a customized solution: installing our advanced SmartJack system to lift and permanently stabilize the floor joists, closing the gaps, and restoring the structure’s integrity.
Matteo approved the plan, and our team installed each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space. The system successfully stabilized the floors, restoring them to their proper level. With the project complete, Matteo's kitchen floor was level once again, with the gaps closed and the floor joists permanently stabilized.
Mark in Tampa, Florida, recently had a new channel drain installed in his pool deck to alleviate flooding and divert water outside of the pool cage area. However, a new issue arose when the water began pooling around the home's foundation at the point where the water was released from the channel drain. He contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to help devise an effective solution for this flooding issue, and one of our expert Design Specialists visited his home to inspect the situation. After careful examination, the specialist devised a plan to install a catch basin at the exterior of the pool deck where the water was discharged. From there, the water would flow through an underground hard pipe and be released via a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property. Our team promptly executed the plan, successfully implementing this new solution. Upon completion of the work, Mark was thrilled with the outcome and can now enjoy freedom from this persistent flooding issue.
After noticing increased instability in the floors inside their home, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of their crawl space. One of our Design Specialists visited their home and carefully examined the structural support in the crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground. As a result, many of the wooden joists had sustained damage due to a lack of stable support from the piers. Our specialist developed a detailed plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After reviewing the plan with the homeowner, our team went to work repairing the joists and installing the SmartJacks in strategically determined locations throughout the crawl space. Now, the homeowner’s floors are fully leveled and stabilized, giving them peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure.
