Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Oviedo, Florida homeowner called our team at LRE Foundation Repair when he noticed the holes under his pool deck were growing in size. Our team inspected the property and determined that a faulty drainage system caused the majority of the erosion, leaving an unstable foundation. Our crews got to work injecting PolyLevel to the affected areas of the home. PolyLevel - an expanding polymer foam material, was injected at various points in the pool deck and surrounding areas to fill large voids and solidify loose, shifting soils. The project was completed quickly and once finished, the site was cleaned up and the pool deck was permanently stabilized.

Louis R. was growing concerned as he noticed his pool deck was sinking and large cracks were forming where it met the foundation. Before it could get any worse, he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for some help. LRE completed a whole home inspection and determined that poor grading/sloping of the property toward the water accelerated the erosion process. Washed-out and loose soil conditions were causing voids and settlement under the deck, so LRE devised a solution that consisted of PolyLevel. This two-part, polyurethane material was injected under the concrete slab through small holes, and flowed through loose soils, expanding and filling the voids as it went. PolyLevel also lifts concrete slabs, like this pool deck back to level, and once the job was finished, the homeowner was thrilled his pool deck was level, cracks closed, and could finally rest easy knowing it was permanently stabilized. 

Joe from Fort Myers, Florida, grew concerned when major cracks began forming in the exterior walls at the back of his home—signs pointing to potential foundation issues. In search of a dependable solution, he contacted LRE Foundation Repair for a free professional inspection.

Our expert Design Specialist found that the foundation had settled due to unstable soil, worsened by repeated heavy rainfall over time. To address the issue, we developed a tailored repair plan using our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation.

With Joe’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, allowing the home’s weight to be transferred to stable soil layers. Our team then successfully lifted the foundation back into its proper position, effectively closing the cracks in the exterior walls.

Joe was thrilled with the results and now has peace of mind knowing his home is structurally sound and permanently protected for the future.

Michelle and Rodney B. were worried about the sudden cracks in the foundation wall of their Estero, Florida home. They decided to contact LRE Foundation Repair to get it fixed and ease their minds. After inspecting the property, LRE determined that the movement was caused by loose, shifting soils and recommended using helical piers to stabilize and repair the foundation. Helical piers are galvanized steel posts that are drilled into the ground around the problematic areas of the home and attached to the home's footer using a galvanized steel bracket. Eventually, the home rests on these piers and can even be lifted back to level. All work is buried underground or covered with concrete, becoming a permanent part of the home. The homeowners were delighted with the repaired foundation cracks and the newfound stability of their home, which gave them the peace of mind they were seeking.

Ashley M. inherited her Lake Placid, Florida home when her grandfather passed away and it needed quite a bit of work. She was informed the roof needed repairs, but before that could start, the more pressing issue was the foundation. Cracks were apparent in the brick walls, and upon inspection, LRE determined a corner of the property had experienced erosion and settlement, which needed to be lifted and stabilized. The homeowner didn't hesitate to move forward with the project, which consisted of the installation of galvanized steel helical piers. These piers were advanced into the soils around the home until the proper pressure and compaction were achieved. Once this happened, the piers were attached to the home's footer, and a lift was able to occur, releveling the sunken foundation. After the project was completed, this homeowner was amazed to see the cracks closed and happy to know her family home was stabilized for years to come.
