Following the effects of Hurricane Milton in October 2024, Scott noticed his concrete pool deck in St. Petersburg, FL, had begun to sink, leaving visible gaps between the slabs and the outer edge of the pool. Concerned about the safety and condition of the area, he spoke to our representative at a local home show and asked LRE Foundation Repair to conduct a professional inspection. Our Customer Care team scheduled a complimentary inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists, who visited Scott’s home to assess the damage.
During the inspection, our specialist determined that soil washout beneath the pool deck had created voids that allowed the concrete slabs to settle. To level the surface, we recommended lifting and stabilizing the pool deck using our PolyLevel solution, which is designed to fill empty spaces beneath the concrete and return the slabs to their proper position.
After Scott approved the repair plan, our team injected PolyLevel beneath the affected sections of the pool deck, carefully raising the slabs while stabilizing the underlying soil. As the concrete was lifted, the gaps between the pool deck and the pool wall were closed.
Now fully leveled and permanently supported, Scott’s pool deck has been restored to a safer, more attractive outdoor area, with long-lasting protection against future settlement.
Greg B., a resident of Land O’Lakes, noticed that the walkway leading from his driveway was not level with the front patio of his home. To address this issue, he opted for LRE's two-part concrete protection system. First, PolyLevel was utilized to level the concrete. Next, NexusPro was applied to seal expansion joints and cracks. These solutions not only rectified Greg's concrete problems but also ensured permanent protection, eliminating further soil settlement for good.
Greg B. of Land O’ Lakes, FL called LRE Foundation Repair looking for a solution to his home's uneven concrete after noticing his driveway, sidewalk, and patio were no longer level. After completing a whole home inspection, it was clear Greg’s uneven concrete was not the only issue. The driveway had not been sealed, causing stains that detracted from the home’s appearance. To remedy Greg’s concrete problems, LRE’s 3-part concrete protection system was recommended. The 3-part concrete protection system involves a product called PolyLevel which is a fast-expanding polymer foam that is used to permanently stabilize and level concrete. After, a tinted sealer called DecoShiled is applied to the concrete to protect and seal the concrete while adding a nice even color. To finish, all of the cracks and joints are sealed with NexusPro to eliminate water from penetrating underneath the concrete. After the work was completed, Greg was pleased to see his homes concrete free of trip hazards and increased curb appeal.
In Tampa, FL, Lindsey contacted LRE Foundation Repair after her concrete pool deck had significantly settled, leading to cracks and dangerous tripping hazards. We scheduled a free inspection, and our Design Specialist assessed the condition of the deck. After identifying soil settlement beneath the concrete as the cause, we recommended lifting and stabilizing the slabs using our PolyLevel solution. Once approved, our team injected PolyLevel beneath the pool deck to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and carefully raise the concrete back to an even level. In a short amount of time, the concrete pool deck’s level was fully restored, eliminating the tripping hazards and creating a safer, more enjoyable outdoor space.
Laura from Tampa, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her home's crawl space after noticing her wooden floors began cupping. Our Design Specialist visited and discovered trapped moisture in the crawl space, creating a humid environment that was likely causing the floor issue. The damp conditions also posed a risk for mold development, which could affect the indoor air quality.
Our Design Specialist created a plan to fully encapsulate the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This comprehensive system completely seals the crawl space with a highly durable moisture barrier to prevent moisture penetration to the wooden structural supports and inhibit mold growth. In addition, a specialized dehumidifier is installed to keep the air in the space clean and dry all year round.
After reviewing this plan with Laura, our team began implementing this system, providing Laura’s home with the protection it needed. She was thrilled with the results, knowing her crawl space was now secure and safeguarded for years to come.
