Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Deborah in St. Petersburg, FL, recently had a tree removed near her home, which caused a corner of her foundation to settle significantly. The voids left beneath the foundation after the tree’s removal led to the exterior stem wall breaking away, requiring immediate attention. Deborah contacted LRE Foundation Repair for help, and we sent one of our local expert Design Specialists to conduct a complimentary full home inspection.

After assessing the damage, our specialist developed a plan to lift and permanently stabilize the affected corner of the foundation using our helical pier system. Deborah reviewed and approved the plan, and our team began the repair and stabilization process. Each pier was installed deep into the ground until reaching stable, load-bearing soil and then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer. The weight of the foundation was transferred to these stable soil layers, allowing our team to lift the settled portion of the foundation back into place.

As a result, the cracks were effectively closed, and Deborah can now rest assured knowing her foundation is permanently repaired and protected against future settlement.

The homeowners' association of a condominium complex in St. Petersburg, FL, enlisted the help of LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the building’s foundation after residents noticed cracks forming in the walls. Following a complimentary inspection by our local expert Design Specialist, it was discovered that large voids had developed beneath the foundation due to soil washout.

We developed a comprehensive repair plan that involved installing our helical pier system to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation back into place. With the HOA’s approval, our team began excavating sections around the building’s foundation and installing each helical pier deep into the ground until load-bearing soil layers were reached. Each pier was then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footing, allowing the weight of the structure to be transferred to stronger, more stable soil layers.

From there, our team carefully lifted the foundation toward its original position, helping close the cracks in the walls. With the foundation now fully repaired and stabilized, the residents of this St. Petersburg condominium can enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing their home is safe and secure.

Our team performed a thorough assessment and determined that the foundation had shifted due to unstable soil conditions beneath the structure. To address the issue, we recommended installing our helical pier system to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation.

With Ryan’s approval, our crew carefully installed each helical pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, allowing us to lift the structure back into place, effectively closing the cracks and restoring stability.

Now, with his commercial property permanently stabilized, Ryan can move forward confidently, knowing that his investment is secure.

John’s home in Wesley Chapel, FL, flooded during both Hurricanes Helene and Milton in October 2024, resulting in extensive damage that included significant foundation settlement. Large stair-step cracks formed in the exterior walls—a common sign of foundation instability. In search of a reliable repair solution, John contacted LRE Foundation Repair, and our team sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection.

During the inspection, our specialist discovered that the underlying soil beneath the back corner of the home had severely eroded, causing the foundation to settle. A repair plan was developed to permanently stabilize the foundation and lift it back to its proper position using our helical pier system. After reviewing the plan, John approved the repairs, and our team got to work.

Using specialized equipment, our crew installed each helical pier deep beneath the foundation until reaching strong, load-bearing soil layers. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the weight of the home to the stable soil below. Once secured, the foundation was carefully lifted, which helped close the exterior wall cracks.

John’s home is now permanently stabilized and secure, providing him with lasting relief and peace of mind.

Sherrie from Ridge Manor, Florida, began noticing large cracks forming in the exterior walls of her home, along with water intrusion inside. Concerned about the severity of the damage, she reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a professional inspection.

Our expert Design Specialist carefully assessed the home and discovered that rainwater had been pooling around the foundation, eroding the soil beneath and causing the home to settle. To address the problem, we designed a comprehensive repair plan that included installing a new exterior drainage system along with our helical pier system to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation.

With Sherrie’s approval, our team installed each helical pier deep into the ground until stable, load-bearing soils were reached. The piers were then securely bracketed to the foundation’s footer, transferring the home’s weight to the solid soil below. From there, we carefully lifted the foundation back into its proper position, effectively closing the wall cracks.

Now Sherrie can enjoy lasting peace of mind now that her home’s foundation is properly secured and permanently stabilized.
