Todd F. contacted LRE to assess the severity of the settlement occurring at his home in Lakeland, Florida. Todd was concerned about the cracks throughout his home, most noticeably on the exterior walls and interior floor tiles. A whole home inspection was conducted, and it was determined by our foundation experts that unstable soils were causing the problem. To remedy the issue, our specialist designed a solution to stabilize the foundation from further settlement and lift the side of the home where settlement was most severe. Galvanized steel helical piers were installed by our trained crews around the perimeter of the home. Helical piers transfer the weight of the home from the unstable soil to the piers. Our team was thrilled to be able to help Todd permanently stabilize his home for good while significantly minimizing those large cracks.
Recently, we assisted Amy H. in Mount Dora, Florida, who was dealing with cracks in her home's exterior walls. These cracks indicated potential foundational issues that needed attention. Concerned about preventing further damage, Amy contacted us, and our Customer Care team quickly arranged an inspection. Our Design Specialist conducted a thorough inspection of the home's foundation and determined that the issue was due to foundation settlement, a common problem in our region due to soil conditions. To address this, we recommended installing Helical Piers, engineered steel piers designed to stabilize and lift the foundation. Helical Piers were strategically placed to support the foundation, and as a result, the cracks in the exterior walls began to close, much to Amy's relief. The outcome restored the structural integrity of her home, and our team left the site clean. Amy was satisfied with the service and the peace of mind it brought.
Chris B. had noticed a large crack in his exterior wall, covered with cultured stone, that was growing bigger. Worried about the potential damage, he called LRE Foundation Repair for help. After inspecting the property in North Port, Florida, LRE found that the foundation had moved due to loose and shifting soils. LRE used the PolyLevel system, which involves injecting an expanding polymer foam under the concrete, to stabilize the soils and lift the side of the home back in place. This affordable, durable, and long-lasting solution helped to close the large gap in the wall. The homeowner was amazed by the end result - the crack in his wall was gone!
