LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Karen and Ron R. were enjoying retirement in their Sebring, Florida home but were growing tired of seeing cracks throughout their driveway, which was their favorite place to sit. Hoping to have the cracks removed or diminished, they called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. LRE was able to inspect the area and determined that loose, shifting soils, voids, and tree roots were the main cause of the noticeable damage. Using a combination of services called PolyLevel and NexusPro, LRE was able to solve these homeowners' concerns with ease. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material that is injected through small drill holes in the concrete driveway and expands to lift areas of the drive while it solidifies the soils below. Once the driveway was stabilized, LRE used NexusPro to seal visible cracks and smooth out the concrete. NexusPro is a silicone-based, flexible sealer that protects the integrity of the concrete while smoothing out and diminishing the appearance of cracks. Once this project was complete, these homeowners were thrilled with the results and could enjoy their protected driveway for years to come. 

Steve S. invited LRE Foundation Repair to inspect this sinking concrete slab on the back patio of his Myakka City, FL, home. The Design Specialist found the soil under the slab had washed away and recommended leveling the concrete with our PolyLevel Solution. The LRE team successfully brought the concrete back to an even, safe surface and stabilized the soil underneath after injecting the PolyLevel Solution. Steve was delighted with the team's work and relieved that his concrete patio was permanently stabilized.

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.
