Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jay and Jackie C. were experiencing settlement issues at their Brooksville, Florida home. They had cracks on their walls and noticed a gap forming between their ceiling. They wanted the problem addressed before it got any worse, so they called LRE Foundation Repair to come out and take a look. LRE assessed the damage and inspected the whole home determining loose and washed out soil conditions were to blame. LRE's specialist designed the perfect solution, and our crews got to work.  Helical piers were installed around the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers are mechanically driven into the ground like a corkscrew, compacting loose soils. Once in place, they are attached to the home's footer with a bracket and the weight load of the home is shifted to the piers and off the ground for additional support. In the process, the home was lifted back level again, closing the large gaps. All work was buried underground leaving no trace. The completed project left these residents extremely happy knowing their home is now permanently stabilized.

Jere observed that the brick chimney of his Brooksville, Florida, home had gradually been pulling away from his home over time, raising significant concerns. Recognizing the urgency of addressing this issue before it could get worse, he called upon LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. After identifying weak soil as the cause of the settling chimney, LRE lifted it back into its original position by installing a series of helical piers. Jere was thrilled to see his chimney saved and permanently stabilized, knowing that a potential disaster had been averted.

Jere H. and his son noticed the chimney of their home was tilting away and detaching from the house. They did all they could to try to secure it, but had no luck. Jere H. called our team at LRE Foundation Repair in hopes of a solution as he wished to keep the original structure of this old Brooksville, Florida home. We inspected the property and noted poor soil conditions were the cause of the massive movement. The solution? Helical piers. Helical piers are galvanized steel piers anchored into the ground compacting and stabilizing the surrounding soil. Once the piers were deep enough, they were attached to the chimney and hydraulically adjusted to lift the chimney back into place. This system permanently stabilized the structure leaving this homeowner and his family relieved that they could keep their home intact for years to come. 

The owners of a doctor’s office in Brooksville, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair with concerns about cracks developing along the building’s exterior walls. A thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists revealed that the foundation had settled due to erosion of the underlying soil, which had been washed away by a broken buried downspout. Our team fully lifted and stabilized the building’s foundation and closed the cracks using our helical pier system. These piers are driven deep into the ground until they reach strong, load-bearing soil layers, transferring the weight of the building to the stable soil and effectively providing permanent stabilization. The owners were thrilled to see the wall cracks closed and can now feel confident that the building is completely safe and secure.

John, a homeowner in Brooksville, Florida, began noticing cracks forming in the walls of his garage that seemed to worsen over time. Concerned about the stability of his home’s foundation, he reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a complimentary inspection. One of our expert Design Specialists conducted a thorough evaluation and confirmed that soil settlement beneath the foundation was causing it to shift, resulting in the visible wall cracks. To resolve the issue, our team installed our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the affected section of the garage. Within a short amount of time, the cracks began to close, and the foundation’s stability was restored. Grateful for the professional work and lasting solution, John now has peace of mind knowing his home’s foundation is now permanently stabilized.
