LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The floors inside Kevin's home in Sarasota, Florida, had started to gradually sink, with large gaps forming between the floorboards and the adjacent walls and door frames. Concerned about potential structural issues in the crawl space beneath his home, he contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection. Our expert Design Specialist inspected the crawl space and immediately identified that the block piers supporting the home’s floor joists had settled, causing the joists to slope. To provide permanent support and stabilization, our team installed our state-of-the-art SmartJack system in key areas of the crawl space. Now, Kevin’s floors are level, and the gaps have been permanently closed.

LRE Foundation Repair was the approved contractor for a commercial project in Sarasota, Florida, where a group of condos were experiencing significant cracking to the interior and exterior of buildings. LRE worked closely with engineers to determine the cause of the damage, the scope of work, and the solution to eliminate any future damages down the road. Due to shifting and unstable soil conditions, this project required the installation of high-strength galvanized steel tubes, called push piers, that were affixed to a bracket secured to a building's footer, and then hydraulically driven down to competent soil. The building's weight was distributed to these piers allowing for stability and lift, which also closed large cracks. Once the buildings were permanently stabilized, soils were backfilled and the project site was cleaned. The clients, and homeowners, were pleased with the finished product and foundationally-sound building repairs. 

LRE Foundation Repair was hired to complete a commercial project for a condo association out of Sarasota, Florida. The buildings there were experiencing significant cracks inside and out and LRE designed the perfect remediation for this project. Due to unstable and shifting soils underneath the foundation of these condos, LRE had to install steel tube push piers, which are galvanized piers hydraulically driven into the ground until they reach bedrock or competent soils. This allows the heavy loads from buildings above to be transferred to these piers rather than unstable ground. These piers were secured to brackets, which are also attached to the buildings, whereby all piers can be lifted together to stabilize and relevel structures, closing the existing cracks on the walls. Once the project was complete, the association of homeowners were pleased their homes were stabilized once and for all. 

Preston's concrete pool deck at his Sarasota, Florida home developed a major tripping hazard when a section settled into the ground. After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduling a free inspection, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to his home to carefully examine the pool deck. The inspection revealed significant soil washout around the pool deck, causing the concrete to settle and create an uneven surface. Our production team successfully leveled the settling concrete by injecting PolyLevel directly underneath the concrete, effectively eliminating the trip hazard and stabilizing the underlying soil. Now Preston can continue to enjoy using his pool deck without the concern for injury and with the assurance that the concrete is permanently stabilized.
