LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Alicia S. in Gibsonton, FL, noticed her back patio chimney was separating from the house while planning to paint her home. Concerned about the issue, she contacted LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection. Our Design Specialist identified soil settlement as the culprit behind the detachment. To address this, we devised a plan to stabilize the chimney's foundation using galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were mechanically driven into the ground to stabilize the loose soil and lift the foundation. Our team successfully installed these piers around the chimney, discreetly burying them underground, leaving no visible trace of the work. Now, Alicia can confidently move forward with painting her home, knowing her chimney is secure.

Elliot P. has lived in his Bradenton, Florida home since a child. He started noticing his bathroom floors giving way when he walked on them and the door would no longer close all the way.  Concerned, Elliot reached out to LRE for a free inspection. After a whole home inspection, LRE determined that poor soil conditions and failing support columns were mostly to blame. LRE custom-designed a solution using SmartJacks and galvanized steel support beams to replace the existing structure, stabilize the foundation, and lift the floors back into place. Once this project was complete, Elliot was thrilled to know his childhood home is now permanently restored and stabilized for many more memories to be made. 

Looking to renovate his Bradenton, Florida home and prepare it for rent, James needed to first address the house's foundation. His home has a crawl space, and over time he noticed the floors felt increasingly unstable when walked upon. He called LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists. Upon careful examination of the crawl space, the specialist immediately noticed that the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground, resulting in inadequate support. Our team stepped in and installed the SmartJack system throughout the crawl space, replacing the block piers and providing the floor joists with robust, permanent support. With the foundation now stabilized, James can continue with the rest of his home’s renovations, confident that the floors below are permanently secure.

James in Bradenton, Florida, knew he needed to have his crawl space inspected after noticing the floors in his home felt increasingly unstable over time. After reaching out to us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free inspection, one of our Design Specialists visited James’s home and carefully examined the crawl space below. The specialist discovered that many of the old block piers supporting the floor joists above had exhibited signs of deterioration and had settled into the soil below. To address this issue, our team installed the SmartJack system, replacing the block piers to provide robust support for the floor joists. James was thrilled with the results, as his home's floors are now fully leveled and permanently stabilized.

In Bradenton, FL, the concrete slab of Kyle’s front walkway had settled below the adjacent driveway slab, creating a significant tripping hazard that needed to be addressed. Seeking a reliable repair solution, Kyle contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and our team quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists. Upon visiting Kyle’s home and assessing the trip hazard, it was determined that unstable soil beneath the walkway had caused the slab to settle.

We recommended lifting, leveling, and stabilizing the walkway using our PolyLevel solution. Kyle chose this option, and our team got to work—quickly leveling the concrete within minutes and successfully eliminating the tripping hazard. Now, Kyle can enjoy peace of mind knowing his concrete walkway is permanently leveled, stabilized, and safe.
