Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Over time, large cracks had formed in the walls of Caprish’s garage in St. Petersburg, Florida, raising serious concerns about her home’s foundation. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for help, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection.

After a thorough evaluation, we discovered that the foundation was settling due to unstable soil beneath the garage. To fix the issue, we recommended installing our helical pier system to lift and permanently stabilize the foundation.

With Caprish’s approval, our team installed each pier deep into the ground until they reached strong, load-bearing soil layers. The weight of the home was then transferred to these stable layers, and we successfully lifted the foundation, effectively closing the cracks in the walls.

Now that her garage is fully stabilized, Caprish has lasting peace of mind knowing her home is protected from further settlement damage.

After removing a large tree near her home in St. Petersburg, FL, Deborah began noticing serious structural issues at one corner of her foundation. Because her home is built over a crawl space, the loss of support beneath the home created voids that caused the foundation to sink and the exterior stem wall to separate—creating visible openings that could be seen from inside the home.

Deborah reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and one of our experienced Design Specialists performed a free, comprehensive inspection to assess the damage. Based on the findings, a customized solution was designed using helical piers to lift and permanently stabilize the compromised section of the foundation.

Once approved, our team installed each pier deep into solid, load-bearing soil and secured each of them to the foundation's footer. This process transferred the weight of the home to stable soil layers and allowed the affected area to be carefully raised back into position. With the repairs complete, the structural cracks are now closed, and this corner of Deborah’s home is fully stabilized and protected against future settlement.

Patrick K. bought his home in Saint Petersburg, Florida around three years ago. However, he has been experiencing settlement and a shifting foundation ever since. He tried fixing many of the cosmetic repairs on his own but to no avail. So he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair to identify the root cause of the problem and fix it once and for all. After conducting a thorough home inspection, LRE decided to install a SmartJack system in the crawlspace and helical piers around the perimeter of the foundation where proper footings were missing. Loose and unstable soils had compromised the interior floors, so they installed galvanized steel posts, or jacks, under the home to stabilize and lift the floors back to level. The part of the crawlspace that had pulled away from the home was stabilized and gaping cracks were closed with the installation of helical piers. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was relieved to finally enjoy his permanently stabilized "new" home.
