Recently, we assisted Amy H. in Mount Dora, Florida, who was dealing with cracks in her home's exterior walls. These cracks indicated potential foundational issues that needed attention. Concerned about preventing further damage, Amy contacted us, and our Customer Care team quickly arranged an inspection. Our Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the home's foundation and determined that the issue was due to foundation settlement, a common problem in our region due to soil conditions. To address this, we recommended installing Helical Piers, engineered steel piers designed to stabilize and lift the foundation. Helical Piers were strategically placed to support the foundation, and as a result, the cracks in the exterior walls began to close, much to Amy's relief. The outcome restored the structural integrity of her home, and our team left the site clean. Amy was satisfied with the service and the peace of mind it brought.
Chris B. had noticed a large crack in his exterior wall, covered with cultured stone, that was growing bigger. Worried about the potential damage, he called LRE Foundation Repair for help. After inspecting the property in North Port, Florida, LRE found that the foundation had moved due to loose and shifting soils. LRE used the PolyLevel system, which involves injecting an expanding polymer foam under the concrete, to stabilize the soils and lift the side of the home back in place. This affordable, durable, and long-lasting solution helped to close the large gap in the wall. The homeowner was amazed by the end result - the crack in his wall was gone!
A homeowner in Longwood, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair after noticing that their large concrete patio slab, which supported their home’s AC unit, was separating from the house and sinking into the soil. Concerned about the structural integrity of the patio, they scheduled a free inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists.
During the assessment, we discovered that significant soil erosion, caused by rainwater runoff from the roof, had compromised the slab’s stability. To provide a lasting solution, our team installed a helical pier system around the patio’s foundation, ensuring durable support and preventing further settlement.
Upon completion of the project, the homeowner was relieved to see the gap between the patio and the home fully closed, knowing their patio slab is now permanently stabilized and secure.
