Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Jere observed that the brick chimney of his Brooksville, FL, 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 property owners of an apartment complex in Brooksville, FL, asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect one of their units after noticing cracks in various areas of the exterior walls. After our expert Design Specialist conducted a complimentary inspection, we discovered that the underlying soil had settled over time due to years of heavy rainfall. We created a plan to permanently stabilize the settling foundation and lift it back to its proper position using our helical pier system.

With the owner’s approval, our team installed each helical pier deep into the ground until strong, stable soil layers were reached. The piers were then bracketed to the foundation footer, successfully transferring the weight of the structure to the competent soil layers below. Once stabilized, the LRE team carefully lifted the foundation back to its original position, effectively closing the cracks.

Now, the owners and residents of the apartment complex can rest assured knowing the foundation is permanently stabilized and no longer at risk of settling in the future.

In Brooksville, FL, the owners of an apartment complex were completing renovations when they discovered large cracks forming in the exterior walls of one of their units. Seeking a professional inspection, they contacted LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free visit with one of our local Design Specialists.

After carefully examining the foundation, our specialist determined that the unit had settled due to unstable underlying soil over time. To permanently stabilize the structure and lift it back to its proper position, our team installed helical piers around the perimeter of the affected area. Each pier was driven deep into the ground until competent soil layers were reached. Once in place, the piers were bracketed to the foundation footer, and our team carefully lifted the structure back into position, effectively closing the wall cracks.

The property owners and residents can now feel confident knowing the foundation is permanently stabilized and protected 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.
