LRE Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A section of the concrete sidewalk in front of Barbara’s home in Port Richey, Florida, had developed into a dangerous trip hazard, and she knew she had to get it fixed before any serious injuries could occur. After calling us at LRE Foundation Repair, we sent one of our Design Specialists to inspect the sidewalk and help provide a solution. Upon careful examination, the specialist found that one of the concrete slabs had sunk into the ground, creating an uneven surface with the adjacent slab. They diagnosed soil settlement as the cause and created a plan to implement our Two-Part Concrete Protection System to fully repair and stabilize the sidewalk. First, our team injected PolyLevel directly underneath the sunken slab to lift it back to its proper level and stabilize the underlying soil. Next, we sealed the control joint separating the two slabs with NexusPro to prevent water intrusion below the sidewalk. Upon completion, the trip hazard was completely eliminated, and the sidewalk was fully leveled and permanently stabilized, alleviating Barbara’s concerns and providing her peace of mind.

In Port Richey, Florida, Nikolaos had noticed significant cracks forming along the exterior walls of one corner of his home, raising concerns about the stability of his foundation. To address the issue, we sent our Design Specialist to perform a full home inspection and assess the damage. The inspection revealed that the soil beneath the affected corner had settled significantly, causing the foundation to sink and resulting in the visible wall cracks.

To resolve the problem, our Design Specialist proposed a plan to stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its original position using our helical pier system. Nikolaos approved the plan, and our team got to work, carefully installing each helical pier deep into stable soil beneath the home. Once in place, the system successfully stabilized and lifted the foundation, closing the cracks in the walls.

Thanks to this permanent solution, Nikolaos can now rest easy, knowing his home is secure, with the once-worrisome cracks fully repaired.

Rodney M. noticed cracking and settlement to his sidewalk and driveway and had concerns about a foundation problem at his home in Holiday, Florida. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to see if there was an underlying issue that needed to be addressed. LRE completed a full home inspection, and through careful ground measurements and testing, determined that large voids and loose soils were causing the heavy weight of the concrete above to sink. LRE designed a solution to solve this problem using PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polymer foam material injected through small ports in the concrete slabs that expands when in contact with soils, filling voids and strengthening the area. This material even expanded enough to lift the concrete drive close to two inches. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was happy to see his driveway and sidewalk not only lifted back to normal but permanently stabilized as well. 

Chris P. was struggling with the area outside of his detached garage in Hudson, Florida. Every time it rained, water would pool up on the concrete pad and seep into the garage. Frustrated, he called LRE Foundation Repair for the solution. LRE inspected the area, determined poor grading was the main cause, and designed a solution by installing a new drainage system, including French drain. This system is quite common and works to filter water away from the affected area and disperse it back out into the yard. Once complete, everything is buried underground and the homeowner was pleased with the clean look and his flooding problems solved. 

Seeking to preserve and enhance the concrete walkway of her home in Hudson, Florida, Sharon reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. Following a full inspection by one of our Design Specialists, a plan was created to implement our Three-Part Concrete Protection System to fully stabilize and enhance Sharon’s concrete walkway. First, our team utilized PolyLevel to fully level and stabilize the concrete slabs. Next, the joints in the concrete were sealed with NexusPro to prevent water from seeping underneath the walkway. Finally, DecoShield was applied to the surface to seal and protect the concrete from flaking, chipping, and staining, while also adding a uniform light grey tint to enhance the walkway’s visual appeal. Sharon’s concrete driveway is now not only fully protected from wear and tear but also features a refreshed and enhanced appearance.
