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.
Elizabeth’s concrete walkway at her home in Dunedin, Florida, had become uneven, with one of the slabs noticeably settling and creating a significant trip hazard. In search of a reliable fix before someone could get injured, she scheduled a free inspection with LRE Foundation Repair. Our Design Specialist visited her home, carefully examined the concrete, and determined that the underlying soil had settled, causing the slab to sink. Our team quickly stepped in and brought the sunken concrete slab back to level utilizing our PolyLevel solution. The trip hazard in Elizabeth’s walkway has been completely removed, and the concrete is now permanently stabilized, alleviating any concerns about potential injuries.
The floors in Dave's Safety Harbor, Florida, home exhibited noticeable signs of sinking and separation from the walls above. A Design Specialist from LRE Foundation Repair had discovered that the interior concrete slab under the floors had shifted due to poorly compacted soil supporting the foundation. The LRE team raised and stabilized the sinking interior slab using the PolyLevel® solution. Dave was thrilled to see the gaps between the floors and walls had closed and felt a renewed sense of relief now that his home was stabilized.
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.
A sinkhole damaged Jeffrey's home in Safety Harbor, Florida, with previous repairs offering only limited success. This resulted in walls separating from the floors below, leaving noticeable gaps. Seeking a solution, Jeffrey reached out to LRE Foundation Repair, and a senior Design Specialist was sent to inspect the foundation of the home. Gaps were found underneath the house that the previous grouting repairs missed, which were then filled using the PolyLevel solution. With PolyLevel injected under the floors, the interior slabs were elevated, and the gaps were effectively closed. Jeffrey now feels relieved, knowing his foundation is secure and his sinkhole troubles are now behind him.
