Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

Brenten H. experienced a large amount of damage to his Bonita Springs, Florida, home when a recent storm hit. He called LRE because he was concerned about the large cracks on the side of his house as well as the sinking foundation. After the initial inspection, LRE Foundation Repair was able to determine the main cause of damage from this storm: loose soils and erosion that led to large voids under the house. LRE's plan of action included the installation of helical piers around the exterior that were driven into the soil and attached to the foundation. These galvanized steel piers not only added to the stability of the structure but also assisted in closing the cracks and carefully lifting the side of the home. Next, LRE used PolyLevel, a two-part expanding foam material, to fill the voids underneath the home, further increasing stability. Once the project was complete, this homeowner was ecstatic to not have to worry about future damage or settlement to his property.

Brenten H. of Bonita Springs, FL, experienced substantial damage to his property after a Florida storm hit. He called LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of a solution to the large cracks and sinking foundation. Upon inspection, LRE was able to determine that loose soils, erosion, and large voids were to blame for the foundation troubles and designed the perfect fix. LRE first installed helical piers around the exterior of the home. These piers were hydrologically driven into the soil and attached to the foundation, adding the stability needed to close the cracks and carefully lift the side of the home. Next, LRE used PolyLevel, a two-part expanding foam material, to fill the voids underneath the home, further increasing stability. This home is now ready to weather many more Florida storms for years to come.

Sheila B. of Cocoa, Florida had cracks in various places on the outside stucco of her home. Suddenly, she noticed an interior crack on her ceiling and decided it was time to call LRE Foundation Repair. After an inspection to the home, it was determined that weakened and shifting soils were the main cause to the home's movement and subsequent cracking. LRE designed the perfect solution consisting of helical pier installation around the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers are drilled into the soil to appropriate depths and capacities and prevent future settlement from occurring. Oftentimes, helical piers provide the needed lift of the structure to close larger cracks. Once Sheila's project was complete, she was ecstatic to see the cracks closed up and the foundation stabilized.
