Before & After Photos

This homeowner located in Dunedin, Florida called LRE after growing concerns about the fast-advancing stairstep cracking on their home. Over the past year, the homeowner began noticing the cracks getting longer and wider. LRE installed piers under the footer of the home to permanently stabilize the foundation while working to close those noticeable gaps on the exterior of the home. The homeowner can now be at ease knowing their foundation is permanently stabilized for years to come. 

A condominium association in Dunedin, Florida contacted LRE Foundation Repair after receiving complaints of structural damage and sagging floors in a few of the units. LRE worked closely with engineers, inspecting the buildings and accompanying crawlspace. They noted that over-exposure to the elements and foundation settlement were the main cause of rotten wood joists, mold, damaged insulation, and water intrusion. LRE then custom-designed a solution using SmartJacks and its Crawlspace Encapsulation System, which together would control moisture, air flow, and stabilize the structure. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel posts that are custom-fit and adjusted to lift foundations back level, while the Encapsulation system dries up the area and prevents and protects from future damage. Once the job was complete, the association was thrilled at the look of the new, clean crawlspace and relieved its residents could rest easy. 

This Dunedin, Florida crawlspace is almost unrecognizable after LRE Foundation Repair completed this transformation using its Crawlspace Encapsulation and SmartJack system. The condo association called LRE after receiving numerous complaints of sagging floors and worries about structural damage. LRE thoroughly inspected all units and got to work stabilizing the crawlspace that had been compromised from excess exposure to the elements and loose soil conditions. LRE's Crawlspace Encapsulation involves covering every square inch of the crawlspace with materials designed to keep outside elements totally separate from what's inside the home. LRE used a variety of moisture barriers, new insulation, and dehumidifiers to control the air quality in the environment and completely ward off future damage. In addition, LRE's SmartJack system uses galvanized steel posts, cut to size and attached to the new support system, allowing for stability and releveling of the foundation. Once this massive project was complete, the association and its residents were happy with the results and could rest easy in their newly stabilized homes.

Jeffrey D. purchased his home in Safety Harbor, Florida that had previous work performed due to sinkhole-related damage. Over the course of the past few months, he started seeing additional settlement damage on one side of his house and wanted to address it before the damage could get any worse. He called LRE Foundation Repair for an assessment and recommendation on how to fix the foundation cracks in his walls. LRE completed the inspection, reviewing the previous work that had been performed, and noted shifting soils and expansive clays were causing the present problem. The LRE team injected the PolyLevel solution into the affected areas of the home to lift and level the interior concrete slabs and stabilize the soil underneath. Upon completion, the cracks were closed and Jeffrey was thrilled with the results, happy that his home was now stabilized for good.
