Before & After Photos

After removing a large tree near her home in St. Petersburg, FL, Deborah began noticing serious structural issues at one corner of her foundation. Because her home is built over a crawl space, the loss of support beneath the home created voids that caused the foundation to sink and the exterior stem wall to separate—creating visible openings that could be seen from inside the home.

Deborah reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and one of our experienced Design Specialists performed a free, comprehensive inspection to assess the damage. Based on the findings, a customized solution was designed using helical piers to lift and permanently stabilize the compromised section of the foundation.

Once approved, our team installed each pier deep into solid, load-bearing soil and secured each of them to the foundation's footer. This process transferred the weight of the home to stable soil layers and allowed the affected area to be carefully raised back into position. With the repairs complete, the structural cracks are now closed, and this corner of Deborah’s home is fully stabilized and protected against future settlement.

After residents of a condominium community in St. Petersburg, FL, began noticing cracks appearing in the walls, the homeowners’ association contacted LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the condition of the building’s foundation. One of our local Design Specialists performed a complimentary inspection and discovered soil washout beneath the structure that had created significant voids, causing the foundation to shift.

To correct the issue, we designed a permanent stabilization plan using our helical pier system. Once the HOA approved the project, our team carefully excavated around the affected areas of the foundation and advanced each pier deep into the ground until stable, load-bearing soil was reached. The piers were then securely attached to the foundation footing, transferring the weight of the building to stronger soil layers capable of providing lasting support.

With the new support system in place, the foundation was carefully lifted back to its proper position, closing the wall cracks in the process. The building is now permanently stabilized and supported by a reliable foundation system, giving residents confidence that their property is structurally sound and protected for the future.

Stephen H. reached out to LRE Foundation Repair after becoming increasingly frustrated with excessive water pooling in his backyard and seeping into his garage during heavy rains. Concerned about potential damage to his foundation and property, he requested a professional evaluation. Following a thorough inspection, LRE’s drainage specialists designed a customized drainage repair solution focused on effective water management and long-term protection. The plan included strategic grading improvements, the installation of subsurface drainage systems, hard piping, and the integration of catch basins to collect and redirect excess water away from the home. With the new system in place, water is now efficiently diverted away from both the backyard and garage, preventing further intrusion and erosion and allowing Stephen to enjoy a dry, stable property with the confidence that his home’s foundation is well-protected against future storms.

Brian, a homeowner in St. Petersburg, Florida, recently completed kitchen renovations that added significant weight to his home. This caused the kitchen floors to settle, prompting him to contact LRE Foundation Repair for assistance in reinforcing the crawl space support beneath his home.

After conducting a comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist identified an ideal solution: installing our state-of-the-art SmartJack system to provide durable, permanent support for the home’s floor joists. With Brian’s approval, our team promptly installed SmartJacks in strategic locations within the crawl space, successfully leveling the floors and reinforcing them to handle the added weight.

Now, Brian can enjoy his newly renovated kitchen with the peace of mind that his home’s foundation is stable and secure.

Having experienced rainwater constantly pooling around his home’s pool deck, Dan from St. Petersburg, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for assistance with an enhanced drainage solution. After our Design Specialist conducted a full home inspection, we developed a plan to install a new exterior drainage system, including an enhanced channel drain within the pool deck’s concrete to collect and redirect flooding rainwater away from the home. Following Dan’s review and approval, our team carefully removed sections of concrete to place the new channel drain and connected it to the system’s underground drainage pipe. Additionally, nearby downspouts were connected directly into the underground pipe to prevent water from discharging around the pool deck. Upon completion, Dan’s pool deck is now fully equipped to manage rainwater, protecting both his concrete surfaces and the home’s foundation.
