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.
In Tampa, Thomas’s concrete walkway developed a severe tripping hazard as two of the slabs gradually became uneven over time. Hoping to prevent potential injuries, Thomas contacted LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection and find a reliable solution for the issue. Our expert Design Specialist visited his home to carefully assess the trip hazard and identified soil settlement as the underlying cause of the sinking concrete. To lift the sunken slab and level the surface, our team stepped in and utilized PolyLevel by injecting it directly underneath the concrete walkway. Now, Thomas’s walkway is fully leveled and permanently stabilized, alleviating his concerns about potential tripping injuries.
The channel drain in front of Eric’s garage in Tampa, Florida, was no longer functioning properly, prompting him to seek a more reliable replacement. After contacting us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection and propose a solution. Upon thoroughly assessing the condition of the original channel drain, our specialist devised a plan to replace it with one of our upgraded models. This new system is designed to efficiently collect and redirect heavy rainwater away from the home through an underground drainage pipe leading to a relief drain, effectively preventing flooding in Eric’s garage. Our team carefully removed the old channel drain and installed our new, enhanced model, providing a reliable solution to protect Eric's garage and home from damage caused by flooding rainwater.
A homeowner in Tampa, Florida was experiencing a number of foundation issues due to the conditions underneath their home. This homeowner contacted LRE after noticing the floors inside their home had begun to sag. One of LRE’s specially trained Design Specialists visited the home to complete an inspection. The findings showed evidence of water intrusion in the crawlspace, rotten wood, and failing beams causing sagging floors in the home. LRE’s trained technicians were able to access the affected area and remediate the problems by installing a number of products. First, LRE installed their specially patented SmartJack system to support and stabilize the floor joists, as well as lift and re-level the floors. LRE also replaced the rotted girder beams and finished off the project by installing their CleanSpace Encapsulation system to control moisture, airflow, and keep out pests and insects as well as ground contamination. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was ecstatic with their new crawlspace area. LRE was able to alleviate the homeowner's concerns by remedying the sagging floors and eliminating future damage to the home.
