LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Brian, a homeowner in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently completed kitchen renovations that added significant weight to his home. This caused the kitchen floors to settle, prompting him to contact LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in reinforcing the crawl space support beneath his home.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist identified an ideal solution: installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent support for the home’s floor joists. With Brian’s approval, our team promptly installed SmartJacks in strategic locations within the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and reinforcing them to handle the added weight.

Now, Brian can enjoy his newly renovated kitchen with the peace of mind that his home’s foundation is stable and secure.

Jenna’s concrete driveway at her St. Petersburg, Florida, home had suffered significant damage over time, as the slabs had become uneven with each other and many cracks had formed along the surface. She reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of finding a reliable repair solution that would both level the concrete and fix the cracks. 

Following a thorough inspection by our Design Specialist, it was determined that soil settlement was the root cause of the concrete sinking and cracking. To provide a lasting solution, our team implemented our Two-Part Concrete Protection System. First, we injected PolyLevel beneath the slabs to carefully lift, level, and stabilize the concrete. Then, we sealed the cracks and joints with NexusPro, preventing water infiltration and future settlement issues.

Now, Jenna’s driveway has been fully restored, leveled, and protected against further damage, giving her peace of mind for years to come.

Natalia I. has lived in her old St. Petersburg, Florida home for years and was experiencing settlement to her foundation with visible damage to the exterior brick walls. She wanted to make sure there were no other underlying problems with the home, so she called LRE Foundation Repair to find out. LRE completed an inspection and determined shifting and unstable soil conditions plagued this home and designed a solution that consisted of helical pier installation around the exterior, coupled with PolyLevel injection. Helical piers are galvanized steel tubes that are drilled into the soil and affixed to the home with metal brackets. The piers were able to gently lift the side of the home to stabilize and relevel the structure. Next, PolyLevel, an expandable polyurethane material, was injected into the soils to compact them and fill in any possible voids. These two systems are often used to work together to stabilize foundations for years to come. This homeowner was not only happy with the end result and finished project, but relieved to not have to worry about her home anymore. 

A lingering odor had permeated Adriana’s home in Saint Petersburg, Florida, leading her to suspect it might originate from the crawl space below. She asked an expert Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space in hopes of finding a solution. The specialist confirmed that moisture damage had negatively affected the crawl space, resulting in the unpleasant odor and the accumulation of mold and mildew. To provide a lasting solution, the specialist recommended implementing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to keep the space clean and dry. With the incorporation of a waterproof liner to cover every square inch of the crawl space, along with a sump pump and dehumidifier, this comprehensive solution ensures that moisture is effectively managed, preventing damage to the structural integrity and maintaining air quality within the home. Following the installation of the CleanSpace system, Adriana was very pleased with the work done by LRE and felt relieved knowing that the unpleasant odor was eliminated and the air in her home was now clean.

Linda of Saint Petersburg, Florida, had observed an unstable section of her home's floor as she walked across it, and it appeared that the problem had worsened over time. Worried the floorboards may break through at some point, she asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her crawl space. An LRE Design Specialist discovered that the block piers supporting the floor joists in the crawl space showed signs of settling, thereby weakening the support for the affected section. The LRE team installed the SmartJack system in the crawl space to permanently stabilize the affected section of the home’s floor, alleviating Linda’s concerns. She can now have peace of mind, knowing that her floors are safe and secure.
