Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Richard and Patricia owned this home in Temple Terrace, Florida for many years. The back room addition of this home started settling and large cracks were forming inside on the walls and ceiling. With growing concern, they called LRE Foundation Repair for the solution. After an inspection determined loose soils were causing too much movement to the home, LRE engineered a solution by installing helical piers and injecting PolyLevel to a section of the home. Helical piers are drilled into the soil around the exterior walls using small equipment to eliminate disruption to the landscaping of the home. These piers were also able to achieve the desired lift this home needed. In addition, PolyLevel, an expandable two-part foam, was injected at the site to solidify and stabilize the soils underneath. Once completed, these homeowners were thrilled to see the cracks closed and the home stabilized for years to come.

After John’s home flooded during Hurricanes Helene and Milton, he began noticing stair-step cracks forming in the exterior walls. Over time, the cracks worsened, clearly indicating the need for a professional foundation inspection. John reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to his home to assess the damage.

During the inspection, our specialist discovered that the soil beneath a section of the home had settled significantly, creating foundation instability and causing the walls to crack. To prevent further settlement and permanently stabilize the home, our team installed our helical pier system. Each pier was carefully driven deep into the ground beneath the foundation until stable, load-bearing soil layers were reached. Once secured to the foundation’s footer, the weight of the home was transferred to the stronger soil below, allowing our team to carefully lift the foundation back into place.

As a result, the wall cracks were closed, and the foundation is now permanently stabilized. John can now enjoy peace of mind knowing his home is secure, protected from further damage, and ready to withstand future storms.

Large stair-step wall cracks gradually began appearing in a corner of David’s home in Dade City, Florida, prompting him to seek an inspection from LRE Foundation Repair to diagnose potential foundation issues. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection, and they discovered that soil settlement beneath this side of the home had caused foundation instability.

To address the issue, our Design Specialist developed a plan to install a helical pier system beneath the affected side of the home to lift and stabilize the foundation permanently. With David’s approval, our team carefully installed each helical pier deep into the ground until reaching stronger soil layers. The home's weight was then transferred to these stable layers, effectively securing the foundation. Finally, our team successfully lifted the settling foundation back into place, closing the wall cracks.

Now with the wall cracks closed, David can enjoy peace of mind knowing that his home is fully secure and permanently stabilized.
