Cliff, a homeowner in Spring Hill, Florida, became concerned about a potential pool leak after noticing that a corner of his pool deck had sunk by an inch. He called us at LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists to properly diagnose the solution. During the inspection, our specialist found that while there was no leak, the soil beneath the deck had eroded, creating large voids that caused the deck to settle.
To restore the pool deck to its original level and close the gap between the deck and the lanai, our team used our PolyLevel solution. The polyurethane foam was injected directly beneath the concrete, filling the voids and successfully lifting the deck back into position. Cliff was thrilled with the outcome and is now reassured that his pool deck is permanently stabilized, avoiding the need for costly concrete replacement.
Greg B., a resident of Land O’Lakes, noticed that the walkway leading from his driveway was not level with the front patio of his home. To address this issue, he opted for LRE's three-part concrete protection system. First, PolyLevel was utilized to level the concrete. Next, NexusPro was applied to seal expansion joints and cracks. Lastly, the DecoShield system was installed to safeguard the concrete and create a uniform color. These solutions not only rectified Greg's concrete problems but also ensured permanent protection, eliminating further soil settlement for good.
Greg B. of Land O’ Lakes, FL called LRE Foundation Repair looking for a solution to his home's uneven concrete after noticing his driveway, sidewalk, and patio were no longer level. After completing a whole home inspection, it was clear Greg’s uneven concrete was not the only issue. The driveway had not been sealed, causing stains that detracted from the home’s appearance. To remedy Greg’s concrete problems, LRE’s 3-part concrete protection system was recommended. The 3-part concrete protection system involves a product called PolyLevel which is a fast-expanding polymer foam that is used to permanently stabilize and level concrete. After, a tinted sealer called DecoShiled is applied to the concrete to protect and seal the concrete while adding a nice even color. To finish, all of the cracks and joints are sealed with NexusPro to eliminate water from penetrating underneath the concrete. After the work was completed, Greg was pleased to see his homes concrete free of trip hazards and increased curb appeal.
In Palm Harbor, Florida, Mark contacted LRE Foundation Repair for help with his home's concrete walkway, which had become severely uneven due to tree roots beneath the surface causing the slabs to heave. The issue had become so serious that Mark and his wife were constantly at risk of injury from the significant tripping hazards that had developed.
After a thorough inspection by our Design Specialist, we developed a plan to not only level and stabilize the walkway but also provide it with enhanced protection and visual appeal through our Three-Part Concrete Protection System.
After the tree roots were removed, our team began implementing the comprehensive solution. We injected PolyLevel beneath the walkway to fill voids and level the slabs. Next, we applied NexusPro to the joints between the slabs to prevent water from infiltrating beneath the surface and washing away the soil. Finally, we applied the DecoShield Concrete Sealer, which protects the walkway from chipping, flaking, and staining while adding a translucent gray tint for a visually appealing finish.
Once the project was completed, Mark and his wife were thrilled with the results. Their walkway was now fully leveled, the tripping hazards were gone, and the concrete was both protected and visually enhanced.
Laura from Tampa, Florida, reached out to LRE Foundation Repair to inspect her home's crawl space after noticing her wooden floors began cupping. Our Design Specialist visited and discovered trapped moisture in the crawl space, creating a humid environment that was likely causing the floor issue. The damp conditions also posed a risk for mold development, which could affect the indoor air quality.
Our Design Specialist created a plan to fully encapsulate the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This comprehensive system completely seals the crawl space with a highly durable moisture barrier to prevent moisture penetration to the wooden structural supports and inhibit mold growth. In addition, a specialized dehumidifier is installed to keep the air in the space clean and dry all year round.
After reviewing this plan with Laura, our team began implementing this system, providing Laura’s home with the protection it needed. She was thrilled with the results, knowing her crawl space was now secure and safeguarded for years to come.
