Before & After Photos

Thomas O. of Winter Haven, Florida has lived in his home for many years and was growing tired of the cracked and uneven concrete slabs that surrounded his backyard pool. The concrete was so unlevel in some places that it was causing tripping hazards around the pool. He called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution and upon inspection, LRE determined that loose soils, coupled with large trees and root systems were the main causes of the shifting slabs. LRE designed a solution that consisted of PolyLevel, a high-density injectable polymer foam material that expands, filling voids and lifting concrete. Once the PolyLevel was injected under multiple concrete slabs throughout the backyard, the homeowner was more than pleased to see the trip hazards removed and a smooth, releveled pool deck remaining. 

Ann L. was dealing with persistent water pooling around her patio. During our inspection, we discovered that poor grading and inadequate drainage were the root causes. To fix this, we installed a channel drain, also known as a trench drain, in the patio after removing a few pavers. This drain now directs water away from the patio and into the yard. The project was completed quickly, and Ann loved the result—her patio not only looks great but stays dry, solving the issue for good.

Mark in Tampa, Florida, recently had a new channel drain installed in his pool deck to alleviate flooding and divert water outside of the pool cage area. However, a new issue arose when the water began pooling around the home's foundation at the point where the water was released from the channel drain. He contacted us at LRE Foundation Repair to help devise an effective solution for this flooding issue, and one of our expert Design Specialists visited his home to inspect the situation. After careful examination, the specialist devised a plan to install a catch basin at the exterior of the pool deck where the water was discharged. From there, the water would flow through an underground hard pipe and be released via a pop-up relief drain at the far end of the property. Our team promptly executed the plan, successfully implementing this new solution. Upon completion of the work, Mark was thrilled with the outcome and can now enjoy freedom from this persistent flooding issue.

Kent H. in Tampa, Florida was experiencing significant cracking to the exterior stucco of his home. With growing concerns there may be a problem, he called LRE Foundation Repair for a solution. After a thorough inspection of the home, LRE was able to determine the main cause of the foundation settlement was due to unstable soils underneath the home. To compact and stabilize the underlying soils, LRE used a two-part deep injection chemical grout. This material expands to compact the underlying soils while strengthening the area as well. LRE also installed helical piers to the side of the home in order to gain lift to the structure, closing some of the cracks in the exterior stucco. Helical piers are advanced deep into the soil and connected to the home's foundation to allow lift to occur. Once the job was complete, Kent H. was extremely pleased to see his home restored and foundation stabilized for years to come. 

The channel drain in front of Eric’s garage in Tampa, Florida, was no longer functioning properly, prompting him to seek a more reliable replacement. After contacting us at LRE Foundation Repair for assistance, we sent one of our expert Design Specialists to conduct a free inspection and propose a solution. Upon thoroughly assessing the condition of the original channel drain, our specialist devised a plan to replace it with one of our upgraded models. This new system is designed to efficiently collect and redirect heavy rainwater away from the home through an underground drainage pipe leading to a relief drain, effectively preventing flooding in Eric’s garage. Our team carefully removed the old channel drain and installed our new, enhanced model, providing a reliable solution to protect Eric's garage and home from damage caused by flooding rainwater.
