LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

After removing a large tree near her home in St. Petersburg, FL, Deborah began noticing serious structural issues at one corner of her foundation. Because her home is built over a crawl space, the loss of support beneath the home created voids that caused the foundation to sink and the exterior stem wall to separate—creating visible openings that could be seen from inside the home.

Deborah reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and one of our experienced Design Specialists performed a free, comprehensive inspection to assess the damage. Based on the findings, a customized solution was designed using helical piers to lift and permanently stabilize the compromised section of the foundation.

Once approved, our team installed each pier deep into solid, load-bearing soil and secured each of them to the foundation's footer. This process transferred the weight of the home to stable soil layers and allowed the affected area to be carefully raised back into position. With the repairs complete, the structural cracks are now closed, and this corner of Deborah’s home is fully stabilized and protected against future settlement.

After residents of a condominium community in St. Petersburg, FL, began noticing cracks appearing in the walls, the homeowners’ association contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the condition of the building’s foundation. One of our local Design Specialists performed a complimentary inspection and discovered soil washout beneath the structure that had created significant voids, causing the foundation to shift.

To correct the issue, we designed a permanent stabilization plan using our helical pier system. Once the HOA approved the project, our team carefully excavated around the affected areas of the foundation and advanced each pier deep into the ground until stable, load-bearing soil was reached. The piers were then securely attached to the foundation footing, transferring the weight of the building to stronger soil layers capable of providing lasting support.

With the new support system in place, the foundation was carefully lifted back to its proper position, closing the wall cracks in the process. The building is now permanently stabilized and supported by a reliable foundation system, giving residents confidence that their property is structurally sound and protected for the future.

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.

Diane from St. Petersburg, FL, needed to have her home’s concrete driveway leveled after the slabs had become severely uneven, resulting in significant tripping hazards. She called us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, and we scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists. Upon assessing the driveway, it was discovered that underlying tree roots had pushed up on the slabs, causing them to heave. Following the removal of the roots, our team stepped in and utilized our Two-Part Concrete Protection System to fully level the slabs and provide the driveway with long-lasting protection. First, PolyLevel was injected directly beneath the concrete to carefully lift, level, and stabilize the slabs. Next, the joints between the slabs were sealed with NexusPro to prevent water from intruding beneath the driveway and causing soil erosion. Upon completion, Diane’s concrete driveway was restored to its proper, safe level, with the trip hazards removed and the slabs permanently stabilized.
