Christopher, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair after noticing that the crawl space beneath his home had been severely affected by high levels of humidity and trapped moisture. Having already had structural repairs done previously, he was interested in protecting the crawl space from any further damage. Following a thorough inspection by our expert Design Specialists, we recommended installing the CleanSpace™ Crawl Space Encapsulation System to provide year-round protection. With Christopher’s approval, our team began implementing this system by sealing the entire crawl space with a moistureproof vapor barrier. A specialized dehumidifier was also included with the system to help keep the air clean and dry. Upon completion, Christopher was thrilled to see his crawl space fully sealed and protected against moisture damage from Florida's frequent rainstorms.
Matthew from Tampa, Florida, began to worry when he noticed sections of his home's floors had sunk, leaving large gaps between the flooring and the adjacent walls. Concerned about potential structural issues, he reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair. We promptly scheduled a crawl space inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
Upon entering the crawl space, our specialist found that several areas beneath the floor joists lacked proper support, either because no supports were in place or because the existing block piers had settled. To resolve the issue, we developed a comprehensive plan to install our SmartJack system to lift and permanently stabilize the floor joists.
With Matthew’s approval, our team installed each SmartJack in the crawl space, successfully elevating the joists and closing the visible gaps inside the home. With the project complete, Matthew can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his floors are secure and supported by a reliable, permanent solution.
Matteo, a homeowner in Temple Terrace, Florida, noticed his kitchen floors were sagging noticeably, leaving wide gaps between the floorboards and the surrounding walls. Planning to make this house his permanent residence, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free inspection of his crawl space to identify any underlying structural issues.
During the inspection, our expert Design Specialist found that the floor joists lacked sufficient support—many of the original block piers had either settled or were missing entirely. To address the problem, we developed a customized solution: installing our advanced SmartJack system to lift and permanently stabilize the floor joists, closing the gaps, and restoring the structure’s integrity.
Matteo approved the plan, and our team installed each SmartJack in key areas of the crawl space. The system successfully stabilized the floors, restoring them to their proper level. With the project complete, Matteo's kitchen floor was level once again, with the gaps closed and the floor joists permanently stabilized.
After noticing increased instability in the floors inside their home, a homeowner in Tampa, Florida, reached out to us at LRE Foundation Repair to request an inspection of their crawl space. One of our Design Specialists visited their home and carefully examined the structural support in the crawl space and discovered that many of the original block piers supporting the floor joists had settled into the ground. As a result, many of the wooden joists had sustained damage due to a lack of stable support from the piers. Our specialist developed a detailed plan to repair the floor joists and provide durable, permanent stabilization using our state-of-the-art SmartJack system. After reviewing the plan with the homeowner, our team went to work repairing the joists and installing the SmartJacks in strategically determined locations throughout the crawl space. Now, the homeowner’s floors are fully leveled and stabilized, giving them peace of mind knowing their foundation is secure.
Elizabeth R. in Interlachen, Florida, requested LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her recently purchased historic home, experiencing sloping and instability in the floors. An LRE Design Specialist performed a full inspection of the home's crawl space and identified deterioration in the floor joists and piers brought on by age and soil settlement. The LRE team installed a series of SmartJacks in the crawl space, effectively lifting and stabilizing the floors above. With the foundation now permanently stabilized, Elizabeth and her family can enjoy living safely in their newly restored historic home.
