When the concrete slab under Robert's shed in Fort McCoy, FL, started to settle, it was more than a cosmetic issue — it was a safety hazard. Knowing the importance of addressing this issue before it got worse, Robert turned to us at LRE Foundation Repair. In the before photo, you'll notice a significant gap between the sunken slab and the adjoining wall. However, with our innovative PolyLevel solution highlighted in the after photo, we were able to not only lift but also stabilize the slab, providing a reliable, lasting fix for Robert's shed.
Concerned about high humidity levels inside his home, Todd from Ormond Beach, Florida, asked LRE Foundation Repair to inspect the crawl space below his home for any potential issues. After carefully examining the crawl space, one of our expert Design Specialists immediately noticed that moisture had been getting trapped, leading to potential structural damage, mold growth, and high humidity levels. To keep the crawl space clean and dry year-round, our team installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This comprehensive system includes sealing the entire area with a waterproof plastic liner to protect against moisture penetration to the home’s support structure and prevent mold growth. Following the successful installation of the CleanSpace system, Todd’s crawl space is now fully protected against the harmful effects of moisture damage.
Robert B. of Ormond Beach, Florida called LRE Foundation Repair after growing concerned about large cracks forming in his pool deck. LRE completed an inspection of the property only to discover large voids had formed underground where armadillos had previously dug their dens. LRE formulated a plan to remedy the unstable soil situation by using PolyLevel injection around the pool deck. PolyLevel is an environmentally safe, expanding polymer material that is injected through small holes drilled in the concrete deck. As the material flows through loose soils, it expands on contact filling voids and creating stable ground. In addition, PolyLevel is able to lift concrete back level again, closing the cracks that concerned this homeowner. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled that his pool deck was crack-free and level once more.
Jeff from Ormond Beach, Florida, was in need of a more effective drainage solution around his home after experiencing heavy flooding following severe rainstorms. He called LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a free inspection with one of our Design Specialists to help provide a solution. After carefully evaluating the existing drainage system at Jeff's home, our specialist designed a plan to install a new system, which included French drains around the perimeter of the property. The plan also involved connecting the gutter downspouts directly to the underground drainage system to prevent the water from dispersing around the foundation. The water collected by the French drains and downspouts would then be diverted out to a pop-up relief drain away from the property through an underground drainage pipe. Once Jeff approved the plan, our team installed the system, carefully concealing it below the surface. Now, with this enhanced drainage system in place, Jeff can be confident that his home is better protected from potential flood damage.
Diane’s concrete driveway in Ormond Beach, Florida, had developed a severe tripping hazard after one of the slabs had settled considerably. After reaching out to LRE Foundation Repair to schedule a free inspection, we sent one of our Design Specialists to assess the situation and help offer a solution. Upon verifying that the underlying soil had eroded, a plan was created to lift, level, and stabilize the concrete with PolyLevel. Our specialist reviewed this plan with Diane, and with her approval, our team promptly got to work. Using specialized equipment, they carefully lifted the sunken concrete and injected the PolyLevel solution beneath the driveway to effectively level and stabilize the concrete. Diane’s driveway is now safe and level, with the tripping hazard completely eliminated.
