Before & After Photos

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. 

Scott M. from Lakeland, Florida noticed sinking sections of his driveway over the past few years and decided to take action. LRE conducted an inspection and identified the issue: the sloping ground had caused substantial erosion of the surrounding soils, leading to the sinking slab. To address this problem, LRE utilized PolyLevel, a polyurethane material injected underneath the concrete slab. PolyLevel expands and raises uneven concrete surfaces. After leveling and smoothing all sections of the driveway, LRE cleaned up the work area, leaving Scott M. with a beautifully level and stable driveway that will last for years to come.

Ken L. of Seffner, Florida had concerns about his sinking walkway, which was causing trip hazards around his home. He called LRE Foundation Repair for help. Upon inspection, it was noted that washout and erosion were the cause of the sinking concrete. LRE's concrete repair expert designed a customized solution utilizing PolyLevel to remedy Ken's concerns. Polylevel is designed to permanently raise and level sinking slabs. PolyLevel was injected underneath the concrete to permanently level and stabilize Ken's walkways.  After the job was complete, he was pleased to see his trip hazards were no more. 

John M. from Winter Haven, Florida noticed that the concrete slab beneath his jacuzzi was shifting. He only realized the severity of the problem after the jacuzzi was removed, and he saw that the slab was cracked all the way across. He contacted LRE Foundation Repair to fix the pool deck area and to ensure that there were no other issues he needed to worry about. LRE conducted a thorough inspection and discovered that a faulty drainage system and downspout had caused erosion under the concrete slab. To address the issue, LRE first injected PolyLevel under the concrete slab and surrounding areas. This polyurethane product flows easily through loose soils and expands to lift the concrete and solidify the soil beneath it. Afterward, NexusPro was applied, which is a silicone-based sealer that seals cracks and joints. LRE completed the project by installing a new drainage system to divert water away from the foundation and out into the yard. Upon completion of the project, the homeowner was amazed at how the concrete slab was re-leveled and the foundation was now protected.
