Before & After Photos

Steve, a homeowner in Orlando, Florida, owns a 100-year-old historic home with a crawl space that had endured years of extensive moisture damage, resulting in persistent mold and mildew issues. Seeking a lasting solution, Steve contacted LRE Foundation Repair. Our team addressed the problem by sealing the crawl space with the CleanSpace™ Crawl Space Encapsulation System. For added protection, we installed an EverLast™ Crawl Space Door at the entrance, creating an airtight, waterproof barrier to keep out humid air, pests, and rodents. Constructed from durable, inorganic plastics and foams, these doors provide an exceptional defense against moisture and pest intrusion. Now, Steve’s historic home is safeguarded with the protection it needs to maintain a dry and secure crawl space for years to come.

Gary B. had experienced a lot of damage to his home after a hurricane struck the area in Orlando, Florida. Water damage had not only infiltrated the house, but also the crawlspace area causing musty odors and sagging floors. He decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for help. After an inspection of the home, LRE determined not only moisture from the storm had caused damage, but also failing wood joists and supports in the crawlspace attributed to the floors settling. LRE got to work in the crawlspace, removing and replacing wood joists, installing moisture barriers, insulation, and finishing the job with LumberKote, a protective sealer, to the whole area. Once complete, this homeowner was thrilled with a dry, odor-free crawlspace that's been stabilized for good. 

Lisa from Orlando, Florida, was alarmed when she observed stair-step cracking patterns developing along the walls inside her garage. Recognizing this as a serious issue, she promptly called us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance. One of our Design Specialists visited Lisa’s home to conduct a full home inspection and found that a section of the foundation had settled due to the instability of the underlying soil, resulting in cracks in the walls. To lift the affected section of the foundation back into place and close the wall cracks, our team installed the helical pier system. Lisa was delighted to see the cracks in her garage’s walls now closed, and she can now feel at ease knowing that this section of her foundation is now permanently stabilized.

Koltan of Orlando, Florida, contacted LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in designing a new, effective drainage system after experiencing repeated flooding on his home's back patio. After completing a thorough full home inspection for Koltan, one of our knowledgeable Design Specialists advised him that standing water was not only a regular annoyance but also had a detrimental effect on his home's foundation and concrete. To alleviate the flooding issue, a plan was devised to install a sturdy channel drain that would run the whole length of the patio's concrete. Our team went to work, carefully measuring and removing the appropriate amount of concrete to correctly install the new channel drain, providing the patio with the perfect solution for eliminating any standing water. Koltan's patio is now appropriately equipped to weather strong rainstorms, and he can rest assured that his home's foundation and concrete are no longer at risk.

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.
