Before & After Photos

Chris P. was struggling with the area outside of his detached garage in Hudson, Florida. Every time it rained, water would pool up on the concrete pad and seep into the garage. Frustrated, he called LRE Foundation Repair for the solution. LRE inspected the area, determined poor grading was the main cause, and designed a solution by installing a new drainage system, including French drain. This system is quite common and works to filter water away from the affected area and disperse it back out into the yard. Once complete, everything is buried underground and the homeowner was pleased with the clean look and his flooding problems solved. 

In Port Richey, Florida, Nikolaos had noticed significant cracks forming along the exterior walls of one corner of his home, raising concerns about the stability of his foundation. To address the issue, we sent our Design Specialist to perform a full home inspection and assess the damage. The inspection revealed that the soil beneath the affected corner had settled significantly, causing the foundation to sink and resulting in the visible wall cracks.

To resolve the problem, our Design Specialist proposed a plan to stabilize the foundation and lift it back into its original position using our helical pier system. Nikolaos approved the plan, and our team got to work, carefully installing each helical pier deep into stable soil beneath the home. Once in place, the system successfully stabilized and lifted the foundation, closing the cracks in the walls.

Thanks to this permanent solution, Nikolaos can now rest easy, knowing his home is secure, with the once-worrisome cracks fully repaired.

Sheila B. of Cocoa, Florida had cracks in various places on the outside stucco of her home. Suddenly, she noticed an interior crack on her ceiling and decided it was time to call LRE Foundation Repair. After an inspection to the home, it was determined that weakened and shifting soils were the main cause to the home's movement and subsequent cracking. LRE designed the perfect solution consisting of helical pier installation around the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers are drilled into the soil to appropriate depths and capacities and prevent future settlement from occurring. Oftentimes, helical piers provide the needed lift of the structure to close larger cracks. Once Sheila's project was complete, she was ecstatic to see the cracks closed up and the foundation stabilized.

A homeowner in Cocoa, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair about troubling cracks in her pool deck. We promptly scheduled an inspection, and our Design Specialist assessed the issue. The inspection revealed that shifting, loose soil was causing the concrete to settle. We recommended PolyLevel® as the ideal solution. This method effectively lifts and levels the concrete while stabilizing it to prevent future damage. The installation was fast and safe, restoring the pool deck to its original condition in less than a day.
