Concrete Services Before & After Photos

Sally T. contacted LRE Foundation Repair after becoming concerned that her front porch might be sinking at her home in Ocala, Florida. LRE inspected the property and observed large gaps that had formed between the concrete steps and the brick walls. The damage was caused by years of erosion and washed-out soils due lack of proper water diversion. To solve the problem, LRE's design team utilized PolyLevel, a polymer injectable material that expands on contact to lift concrete back into place. PolyLevel was injected around the affected area and closely monitored as the concrete was raised to close the gaps. Once the maximum lift was achieved, the material quickly cured, enabling LRE to finish the job by adding a new drainage system. Sally was thrilled with the results and can now rest easy knowing her porch is permanently stabilized and protected from future settlement. 

When Brian observed a significant crack in the patio slab of his Ocala, FL home, the concern was immediate, particularly with plans to sell the property in the coming weeks. The urgency to address this problem led him to our services. As illustrated in the 'before' photo, the defect demanded expert intervention. Our team employed PolyLevel technology for precise lifting and stabilization, followed by NexusPro sealing for a durable finish. The 'after' photo showcases a seamless restoration. Our interventions not only resolved the aesthetic and structural issues but also restored Brian’s confidence in his property’s market readiness.

David W. called LRE concerned after noticing his front porch sinking and cracks growing larger, quickly.  LRE completed a full inspection of David's house located in Port Orange, FL, and determined that animal borings had significantly compromised the soil beneath his porch. To remedy David's issues, our team injected PolyLevel underneath the patio slab to strengthen and stabilize the soil. PolyLevel is a highly expandable foam material injected through very small drill holes in the concrete. As the material flows and mixes with the soil, it expands to fill all voids and starts to lift the concrete back into place. After this porch was treated, this homeowner could rest easy knowing his porch was stabilized and even, leaving only the Florida pests to deal with. 

Frank B. contacted LRE Foundation Repair after learning about our wide range of concrete services. He specifically wanted to address the cracks in his driveway and have the area resurfaced and re-leveled. LRE conducted a full inspection of his home and noted that the majority of the damage was caused by shifting and washed-out soils as well as the age of the property. LRE immediately addressed all of the homeowner's concerns. Our team first used PolyLevel, an expanding polyurethane foam material, to inject underneath the concrete driveway, which lifted and re-leveled it while permanently stabilizing the area. Next, LRE used NexusPro and DecoShield, two products used together to fix and protect the driveway for years to come. NexusPro is a silicone-based crack sealer, and DecoShield is a tinted protective coating applied to the whole driveway. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and happy that his driveway looked like new again.

Gregory's concrete driveway in Hernando, Florida, required repairs as the slabs had become uneven, creating a significant trip hazard. Concerned about potential injuries, he asked LRE Foundation Repair for help. An expert Design Specialist discovered that weak soil underneath the driveway had caused the concrete to sink, resulting in an uneven surface. The LRE team successfully raised the sunken slab back to an even level using the PolyLevel solution, which also ensured permanent stabilization of the soil below. With the trip hazard now eliminated, Gregory can now put his injury concerns to rest.
