Homeowner, Robert H., was concerned about the trip hazards unlevel concrete was creating around his home. Fear of causing harm to neighbors or guests motivated Robert to schedule a whole home inspection with LRE. Our concrete specialist conducted a thorough inspection of Roberts's home and found that the soil beneath the concrete was unstable, causing the slabs to become unlevel. To resolve Robert's concerns, our team utilized our specially patented PolyLevel system. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam designed to fill and compress loose soils. Once complete, Robert was relieved to see his safety concerns were no more. Robert can now rest easy knowing his concrete is permanently stabilized and his home is no longer a safety issue.
A commercial property owner in Venice, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with a section of their parking lot where the concrete appeared to be settling, leading to frequent water pooling in the area. An inspection conducted by an LRE Design Specialist revealed that unstable soil beneath the concrete had caused it to settle, and regular rainwater seeping below the parking lot would cause the soil to erode further. The specialist recommended using PolyLevel to level the concrete and stabilize the soil. With the property owner’s approval, our team injected PolyLevel directly under the concrete slabs, successfully leveling and permanently stabilizing them. The parking lot is now fully leveled, effectively preventing further water pooling in the area.
Frank D. was concerned about his backyard sea wall as it continued to crack and crumble after each storm. He called LRE Foundation Repair for a possible solution to his problematic wall. We determined that the majority of damage was escalated from rising storm waters, increased erosion and unstable soils and designed a repair using the GeoLock Wall Anchor system. These steel anchors are embedded into stable soils and attached to other wall anchors with galvanized steel rods. This system can be tightened to straighten and stabilize walls and once complete is easily concealed. This Venice, Florida homeowner was more than thrilled with the finished product and was worry-free knowing his sea wall was permanently fixed.
A significant tripping hazard had developed in Julie’s concrete driveway in Venice, Florida, as one of the slabs appeared to be sinking into the ground, creating an uneven surface. Concerned about the safety risk, Julie reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. We sent one of our Design Specialists to Julie’s home to inspect the driveway, and they found that substantial erosion of the underlying soil had caused the concrete to settle. To fully remove the trip hazard and level the slab, our team implemented our Two-Part Concrete Protection System. First, PolyLevel was injected directly beneath the concrete to lift, level, and stabilize the slab. Next, the joints between the slabs were sealed with NexusPro to prevent water from seeping beneath the concrete and causing further erosion of the soil. With the trip hazard fully removed, Julie can now rest easy knowing her driveway is safe and stable.
