LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Thomas’s sunken concrete walkway leading up to the front door of his home in Palatka, Florida had developed into a troublesome trip hazard. Needing to address this issue immediately before someone could get injured, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair. After carefully inspecting the concrete, our team soon initiated the repair process by leveling the sunken slabs with PolyLevel to effectively eliminate the trip hazard. In addition, they sealed the joints in the walkway with NexusPro to prevent water from seeping beneath the concrete and causing further soil erosion. Now that the trip hazard is completely gone, Thomas can feel relieved knowing his walkway is now not only fully leveled, but also permanently stabilized.

Debbie had recently taken a fall after tripping on the unlevel concrete around her home. Debbie contacted LRE in hopes of eliminating the trip hazards after growing concerned that her grandchildren may too take a nasty fall. The soil beneath Debbie's concrete had eroded, causing the concrete to sink. To remedy the settling concrete around Debbies home, LRE injected PolyLevel underneath the slab to lift and level the concrete back to its original position, and permanently stabilize the soil to eliminate this issue from happening again in the future. Debbie no longer has to be concerned that her grandchildren will trip over the unlevel concrete around her home. 

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.
