Paul from Palmetto, FL, contacted LRE Foundation Repair after large stair-step cracks appeared in the exterior walls of a corner of a family member’s home. During a complimentary full-home inspection, our Design Specialist discovered soil settlement beneath the corner had caused the foundation to sink.
To stabilize the home, our team installed helical piers deep into the ground until they reached stable, load-bearing soil and securely bracketed them to the foundation’s footer. The foundation was then carefully lifted back into place, closing the crack and permanently stabilizing the structure.
Paul was very pleased with the results and can now rest assured that this section of the home’s foundation is fully secure and protected against future settlement.
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.
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.
A homeowner located in Daytona Beach recently inherited this home and noticed interior and exterior cracks throughout the home. The Homeowner's goal was to repair the foundation so they can keep it in the family, or sell the home later down the line. LRE installed 7 Helical piers around the perimeter of the home and injected 6 points of chemical grout to permanently stabilize the foundation of this home for years to come.
